Doctor: 7 hours of week. It's a healthy way of spending time playing games. Me: Did you mean 7 hours a day ? Doctor: What? Me: What ? 7 hours a week even in avarage is really low, pump those numbers up please.
I like how alex really breaks things down. Most gamers would assume what he is saying is common knowledge and the explanations given in this video really help people who don't understand the market understand it better. Keep up the good work.
Exactly. To us, this is common knowledge but to those outside of the video gaming community, it can feel opaque and mysterious. This was a good breakdown of direct purchases and digital marketplaces.
I've been a gamer since the original Warcraft. I played a bit of wow, got to the level of my actual age which at the time was 22, did this in two separate factions, but realised pretty quickly how it was a waste of time "grinding away at the game" levelling up in the virtual world while in the real world I wasn't levelling up as much as I could be.. so it helped me to choose which is more important and to pursue it with more focus than ever before. A couple years later I'm engaged to get married, I earned a black belt in Karate, I got a new car, earned 30k in savings, levelled up in a career attaining references and real life skills that help me survive without mum or dad around.. need I go on? I could still be playing wow, i'm 32 now so that's 10yrs later and I can tell you.. I'm glad I don't! Now don't get me wrong, I still play games, currently it's Northgard because I miss genuine RTS titles like the original two Warcraft games which have been foregone by people buying into these black holes like WOW and CS-GO, but just like WC 1&2 and the original C&C's up until Generals and not to mention COH, Northgard has it where it counts, it takes lots of skill, realistic strategy and time to master the intricacies rather than money and time performing meaningless tasks over and over like you're a robot. Now sssure, I can attest to how immersive the whole world of warcraft is in game and to this day I can attest to how much more cozy it is to be in such an immersive in game world rather than dealing with the struggles of actual life, but with that you're also missing out on a lot of awesome and a great deal of real benefits that will last longer than your eye-sight etc etc, all of which has a finite life-span whilst you hunch over a desk staring into the screen. So in conclusion: Make the choice sooner than later to get fit, healthy and balance out your hobbies to enjoy a full life that's as good for you as it is for others and future generations, that means a bare minimum of 10minutes sun a day! some time bare foot on the earth (not asphalt), a minimum of 10minutes fast paced walking, minimum of 10 push ups and sit ups a day and i'll leave the rest for you to discover and tune into. Goodluck fellow gamers.
Yes, I spent 1500 hours playing War Thunder during Covid and finally quit. Three months later spending an hour a night learning to play guitar and I realized how far I could be if I hadn’t played War Thunder so much. Makes me sad.
Maybe he was referring to the fact that the items was sold for $10,000 dollars, where the seller could just cash out that money from the auction house. The Dragon Lore can't be converted into physical money through steams marketplace, even though that transaction of $61k wasn't done on steam. I don't know, such a strange script :/

@@DRAG0N1012 yes and no, sometimes expansions and DLCs are so massive that they could be an entirely different game. Take Monster Hunter World Iceborne for an example. But yeah anything small that could have been included with the game already should be free.
@@lukespencer6846 all the maps in call of duty both multi player and zombies I consider to be missing parts of the games sold separately and shouldn't be, GTAs ecosystem is pay rockstar or spend thousands of hours in game things most likely could have been placed in the game at its 60 dollar price tag and still make massive profits for all games the higher cost doesnt make sense to me unless the company is bleeding your hard earned money it might be I value my purchases and my money more I think over every purchase I make for at least a week or two if I cant find a reason to spend the 20 to 40 extra I simply wont buy the stripped down 60 dollar version
I personally see buying things in games like buying an entree fee for a fun park. It isn't there forever but it gives you temporary fun. Well, in the last 11 months since writing this comment I've came to realize that it is a complete waste of Money. It gives you unearned Dopamine Spikes and your money can be used better. Be aware!
exactly my first thought. But they even mentioned the unique Dragon lore. But maybe they don't count these in because the basic item is worth much less.

Today, the only way to play on a notebook being considered a gamer is if a keyboard, mouse and 27 inch monitor are plugged into it. Back in 2007, from where the footage was it literally made no difference, as desktops and notebooks were literally the same hardware-wise, so most people opted for notebooks back then, since they were smaller and portable.
@@nestnest3384 Yeah, stop your train. You can actually put those components on a notebook, but it'll drain the battery rapidly, which can be solved by always charging it while using it. And the keyboard is pretty comfy, the only thing is plugging a mouse or usig a big monitor.

That only 1 hour a day is actually accurate, us with jobs sadly need the rest after a day's work(majority of of us blue collars). Unless you do streaming/gaming as a job, has a loose schedule, or a NEET. I sometimes push myself to play for 5 hours just to play with friends even if sacrificing the time dedicated for my rest.

Interviewer: Why spend money buying Video Games on Steam that you will never play? Me: I mean it's on sale, why not. Hello Summer, Winter, Halloween, Spring and Black Friday Steam Sale Events!
Because Video Games is what We Gamers Call "Escape Reality" so we will not have to deal with what is going on in our lives we spend money so that we can enjoy.
Wrong. Its logical if anything. You play 8 hours a day but wont spend a cent. Time is money. When a few dollars could make your gameplay more enjoyable or makes you more powerful. Makes no sense to opt out micro transactions.
These dude be making 100 while i be making about 20 cents a year from selling steam items...I wanna trey spending like 5 or even 10 euros in csgo skins so that i try reselling them
If you really love the game ,then it's worth it .nothing is bad when you spend money on the game .Game developers spend years making a game for people to enjoy ,so it's all square !
Also, you support the games you love. Some games are free without ads because of microtransactions. If people don't buy stuff devs usually have to dund the game with ads.
Great video! I'd like to see it go more in-depth on the evolving state of the black market that was more prevalent in the previous decade. (e.g. Chinese gold farmers, Steve Bannon's stake in IGE, and Saudi Royalty creating WoW arena teams against otherwise honest players)
@@fedefede6787 I'm guessing it's there because I am currently subscribed to supporting the creators of this content. I suppose it would be removed if I decided to cancel.
You can tell this man is still a little salty about taking 14 years to get an item kids just buy, and for getting an account banned that was worth minimum $400
Because you want to show your friends earning top 4 dollars a week how cool you are for using 100 dollars on a game in one day, (Yes that happend, i did spend 100 dollars on one game in a day)

I never spend money in game, even for DLC's
Dlc should be included in the 60 dollar price tag If I'm being honest
@@DRAG0N1012 yes and no, sometimes expansions and DLCs are so massive that they could be an entirely different game. Take Monster Hunter World Iceborne for an example. But yeah anything small that could have been included with the game already should be free.
@@DRAG0N1012 can't tell what's happening in the story from just that
@@lukespencer6846 all the maps in call of duty both multi player and zombies I consider to be missing parts of the games sold separately and shouldn't be, GTAs ecosystem is pay rockstar or spend thousands of hours in game things most likely could have been placed in the game at its 60 dollar price tag and still make massive profits for all games the higher cost doesnt make sense to me unless the company is bleeding your hard earned money it might be I value my purchases and my money more I think over every purchase I make for at least a week or two if I cant find a reason to spend the 20 to 40 extra I simply wont buy the stripped down 60 dollar version

Doesn’t change the fact that he was in fact, gaming, and putting hours into it. He also shared he payed his rent by selling gold on WoW
Today, the only way to play on a notebook being considered a gamer is if a keyboard, mouse and 27 inch monitor are plugged into it. Back in 2007, from where the footage was it literally made no difference, as desktops and notebooks were literally the same hardware-wise, so most people opted for notebooks back then, since they were smaller and portable.
@@nestnest3384 Yeah, stop your train. You can actually put those components on a notebook, but it'll drain the battery rapidly, which can be solved by always charging it while using it. And the keyboard is pretty comfy, the only thing is plugging a mouse or usig a big monitor.

Everyone spends money somewhere. Because that's what they like. Not understanding why someone likes something is another problem.
You dont really own the items tho. You basically just have a license to be able to wear them

That only 1 hour a day is actually accurate, us with jobs sadly need the rest after a day's work(majority of of us blue collars). Unless you do streaming/gaming as a job, has a loose schedule, or a NEET. I sometimes push myself to play for 5 hours just to play with friends even if sacrificing the time dedicated for my rest.

It just really comes down to spending in what you love. ❣️
*Lesson:* People spend money based on Emotion, they justify it with Logic
Wrong. Its logical if anything. You play 8 hours a day but wont spend a cent. Time is money. When a few dollars could make your gameplay more enjoyable or makes you more powerful. Makes no sense to opt out micro transactions.
Feralz skins dont make it more enjoyable
Duchy you're every where, how ya do it?

If you really love the game ,then it's worth it .nothing is bad when you spend money on the game .Game developers spend years making a game for people to enjoy ,so it's all square !
Also, you support the games you love. Some games are free without ads because of microtransactions. If people don't buy stuff devs usually have to dund the game with ads.
