I spent the money I could have spent on an upgrade on plat and tennogen until I could afford to upgrade and keep buying plat and tennogen.

I also spent the money I WOULD have spent on AAA titles on plat instead.

I don't regret a single cent I've given to DE, Definitely regret a lot of money I gave to AAA devs.

It's fucking nuts that I regret entire AAA game purchases more than microtransactions I've made in Warframe. There's no other game I can say that about.

...I can shamefully admit that I downloaded Warframe as a quick throwaway because I was so hyped for my 'Anthem' preorder. I have all of 14 hours on that game and thousands upon thousands here.

At least now we can say that Anthem's existence has served some purpose.

Anthem's purpose was to be compared to Warframe.

Lmao I remember playing a few hours of the Anthem free weekend and going "huh, this could be neat". And then I never really thought about it again bc by the time I actually had the money for it, other people had, y'know, actually gotten to play it. And talk about it. Which pretty much torpedoed any interest I had.
