Microtransactions have basically zero utility outside of a looking cool in a specific video game. If I am being honest of I spend $20 on these things every day I would have lost $7,300. That’s the cost of a medium-high end PC and this is assuming you have no other costs - no taxes, no rent, no utilities, no subscription bullshit - just microtransactions. You might as well just save it money for a faster CPU or GPU or better yet, putting it aside as part of an emergency fund.

Would I pay $20 for a basic meal? No! It’s a rip-off, doubly so given that a big chunk of the $20 doesn’t even go to compensating the workers behind it it goes to the c suite so they can buy another yacht, except it has actual utility: giving our body nutrition.
