((gaming books, fantasy reading books, computer games, etc... It all ties in))
Give me a minute to add it up... Because this is what WoTC is after and what they are not realizing they are losing to other companies. Alienating role players by forcing them off the site will only make them more likely to purchase products from other gaming companies.
I've got it... It took a while... Now I have a good job and ... well here it is:
I spent about two thousand dollars last year.. that is $2,000.00 --
(What can I say it was a slow year for games.) I have spent well over $7,000 in some years when you count conventions and other gaming costs.
Please consider posting how much you spent on gaming, and maybe they will hear us.
I don't want to figure the exact numbers. But I figure over the course of a year, I put about 2k into gaming. From novels to manuals to the vid games. Hell, I spent five bucks to put Baldur's Gate on my phone. Eighty into the Dark Alliance Games. The 3e Manuals, uh, I have almost all of them right now. Location kills the speed of purchase, I get stuff last here.
That's just in WotC RPG games. I can put a couple hundred a month into MtG with ease. I'm sure over the course of my life I've had a couple thousand worth of Hasbro Board games.
And in some years, of which I am actually ashamed. For I must speak the word which angers the Elder gods, Pokemon, Didn't buy them for me! I bought a couple thouand cards for my younger cousin once. I think I actually bought him one of everything in the debut card series. I even went out of my way to get him all the promo cards. I sat through that evil movie ten times to get him all the damn promo cards. I actually wonder how much of my money that actually cost . . . No I'm not going to say or figure it out. . .
{EDIT}
I's forgot. I put 114 bucks a year into Ragnarok Online. I've spent plenty in Blizzard to. Preorder of StarCraft: Ghost, WarCraft.. Rockstar games got it in GTA. The Sims. Xenosaga. Oh, yeah, I have all six Shinobi titles. The original four for the SNES, plus the two for the PS2. I have the first Fullmetal Alchemist RPG, and plan on Preorderign the second. Harmony Gold has me biiiig, I'm a massive Macross (Robotech) fan. I've bought all the DvDs, both of the Video games, all the books. Hell, I put 50 bucks down for a Veritech Valkyrie model (it transforms to, hehe).
