You guys are either really poor or unable to apply perspective. Would I have spent $1000 on PoE? Fuck no I dont see the value in it, but I have spent way past the retail price for some games you cant get anymore. It's a value proposition, it was worth it to him. Applied on a smaller scale I wouldn't pay whatever the fuck it is you guys pay for starbucks, I buy beans grind them and drink better tasting coffee at a cheaper price. To laugh at someone who spent $x on thing y because he thought it was worth it?? To pass the comment "i wouldn't have done that" fair enough, to pretend it's some kind of mortal sin? get out of here. Keep on living in a world where only your perspective applies.
