Eh, there's a reason microtransactions are so popular in games, and it's because even if you're great at budgeting it gets hard to notice all the little amounts you spend, especially if it's over weeks.

It's easy to get caught up in the bundles and sales and promotions, too.

Exactly this ^^^

Do... do people just never look at their emailed receipts or something? I love it because it lets me keep track of exactly how much I've spent at a glance. I have a folder in my email specifically for Google Play stuff so it's easy for me to look and add up just how much I've spent in any given time period.

No. Why would I, when I could be playing my game?

[(Anonymous)]

But surely you look in your email and see the receipts and are reminded that you spent money?

[(Anonymous)]

No. Why would I? I already spent the money. I was there when I did it?

If you're keeping track of how much you're spending then you're not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the idea that "even if you're great at budgeting it gets hard to notice all the little amounts you spend, especially if it's over weeks." To which I say, how do you not notice unless you just spend money and then never ever look at the receipts you get from it?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really keep track of how much I'm spending, other than in the general. "Oh, look, I have money in the bank, so I'm good." I actually just looked at my April budget this morning and I can't immediately account for half my discretionary spending. No idea what I spent it on. I'm not gonna go into my receipts to figure it out. I have better things to do with my time.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, instead of putting the onus on each individual person to go to the effort and the time that many don't have to track the most minutia of spending, how 'bout we make the things that have been proven to be psychologically dangerous to people's mental health and well-being illegal?
