Recently I've become a bit...addicted to buying home menu themes on my 3DS. So, this got me thinking about how many things in the game world that are easy to get sucked into and invest a lot of funds in. Here are some examples!

Themes

Cosmetic DLC


Limited Edition Consoles


Special Controllers


Limited Edition Games

Toys to Life Figures

While most of the things I've listed are purely cosmetic and don't necessarily affect the quality of our experiences, I find that many gamers (myself included) can't help themselves but to sink their wallets into them. Are you one of those people? And if so, which do you find you particularly enjoy buying? If I neglected to add specific examples, just list them below!

I do buy themes from time to time and I really love Limited edition consoles but I don't buy them enough to call myself addicted



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

I'm addicted the most to Cosmetic DLC of a specific designation.



I'm not addicted to buying games or accessories, but there are games that I am addicted to play a lot of.

I'm addicted to pretty much anything I can get my hands on.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

When you work and make your own money, you may tend to watch what you spend your money on. So I don't do a lot of impulse buys.... But amiibo really know how to get me.. x )

I'm completely indifferent to all of these. Well, I do have one amiibo, so I guess there's that.



None of these really, I like getting some limited editions if they provide something worthwhile, and I do like getting Amiibos, but I'm certainly not addicted to getting any of them.
