Games are $60. Standard rate. Expansion packs and DLC is how they get you.

Before this they sold figurines to link with the game as additional content.

My 12 y/o spends all of his allowance on this crap.

I suspect that will change when he starts getting into girls more but for now it's games and content.

They keep them all in beta or infinite universe form to continue bleeding the well of disposable income.

There is never a point when 1 player has everything. The whole system is set up this way for product security.

You have to set the limit financially and let them choose how to waste that money.

Once you give in to them being a part of the gaming world by buying a system, this battle over DLC becomes the main issue with the kids.

I gave in about 2 years ago. I should have waited but I didn't know then what I know now.
