Most players pay no attention to money being wasted on fast food, movies, music, soda, energy drinks, candy, alcohol, or any other discretionary purchase that only provides you with a few hours of enjoyment. These can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars a year. But trying to make sure you dont waste money on a video game (read video game) seems to be a deal breaker. A game that I'll bet most people have played for hundreds of hours. Yup total waste of money :p
