This dude spends 100k on a mobile game and makes a video bragging about it, meanwhile I throw 20 bucks on a mobile game and I spend the rest of the week feeling like I ruined my life financially.

He's not justifying it to us. He's justifying it to himself.

This man single-handedly funded Diablo immortal

45 min reaction for a 16 min video. Asmon really is a professional streamer

this dude has somehow managed to become a paying actor instead of a paid actor.

This just proves the point that no matter how shit the scam is there's always a sucker out there who's gonna fall for it.

The fact that it’s possible to spend $100k on a mobile game should be illegal

Asmongold made a good point. People want to be able to get to end game and play at the highest level in a reasonable amount of time without having to get a high paying job. For most people, games are an escape from reality. They don't want to have to grind in reality to have the opportunity to escape in a game. It defeats the purpose. Also, games like these use tactics to take advantage of people's shortcomings and manipulate their brains to get them hooked and waste their money.

This guy is proof that it really is easier to fool someone, than to convince them that they've been fooled

"Rich went 44-0 because he was a whale going against f2ps" "Paying in this game doesn't give you an advantage over F2p" This guy's not a clown, he's the entire circus

The grind vs pay buffs are incomparable. It’s like a human and a saiyan. Every battle makes the saiyan exponentially stronger vs the human getting experience and being blocked off from zenkai boosts

Can I just say that I love watching and listening to all the storys you have to tell and the reactions on other video's. Honestly besides learning a lot, Im really enjoying your video's. You earned a sub!

"That itch that mobile gamers have" That is called addiction sir.

Imagine how happy Bobby must be to have these kinds of people defending Diablo Immortal and giving him 100k

"I spent $100k on pixels. Just like I spent $30k on pixel corn in Farmville." - People who have too much money and don't know what to do with it.

I got trapped into a pay per pay for hundreds and felt like a damn fool. This guy is completely brain washed, he must not have anyone in his life that cares about him, your friends wouldnt let you spend like that .

This guy right here is *precisely* the reason this game was created.

The fact that he said "invest" into a mobile games just threw his cred out the window for me...he's completely entrenched in the sunk cost fallacy

I was afraid to buy a game for 10 bucks cuz i dont want to spend money on "worthless fun". Now this makes me wanna buy it

I’ve got over six figures, “invested” into it.. can’t wait until those investments mature

this dude is literally everything that is wrong with gaming, wrapped in one unironic person.

Hearing this guy's arguments legit make me wanna cry. How can someone be so disconnected from reality and shove 100k+ Dollars into a game. The fact that he says it's the "best" mobile-game he has ever played show that the bar for mobile gaming just isn't very high.

The funny this is I got a Diablo immortal ad right after clicking this video. I love the algorithm

@10:15 "Never use the term you are defining in the definition"🤣

Bro this guy did the community a great favor by doing this, he gives great talking points to use as evidence of how malicious this game is.

This guy and others like him is the reason why we are dealing with pay to win games.

Here for the CS 1.3, 1.6, CPL and CAL-I mention...Love it. The good ol days...oh and BG9

10:33 WHYYYY? HERE"S WHY lol that synchronized nicely

This is pretty tragic. You can hear the addiction talking, not the person. He feels personally attacked that it's being called out, not him specifically, but how he is being manipulated. Defending his supplier.

Man the damage the industry has done to this mans gambling addicted brain and the way he justifies it is actually so fucking sad to see :/ The world needs to catch up with gaming scams

I wish everytime he said "bring us together to have fun together" you cut to him laughing like a crazy person killing everyone

The only time I would defend pvp hackers. Gotta bring these people to reality somehow, like, he spent 100.000 on a mobile game. I know you cant tell people what to do with their money, but thats just like using 100 dollar bill to wipe your ass.

that fact that he said "invested" destroyed my soul. even if i take ALL of my wow sub payments, all consoles and games i ever bought, my entire steam account and every single skin purchase in league or hots together, i wouldnt even be close to 10k, and i have played video games for 25 years, basically 4-16 hours every single day. that guy is fucking insane

This guy is like a addict that's trying to convince people it ain't that bad.

I love how Asmon just say "oh, so he used a conputer before"😂😂😂❤❤

This guy is the ultimate tool. Love how he “invests” in these P2W games. How’s your equity man?

It is amazing hearing people say they "invested" money in microtransactions I was feeling sick in my stomach everytime this guy started to justify and defend the game's monetization

$16k is small compared to other mobile games. We got people spending close to a million on Evony: The King's Return

Nothing this guy is saying is making sense. It's quite sad, that corporations are looking down and smiling at what they been able to create. Just complete cash cows everywhere.

"he went 44-0 because he paid money" "paying money does not give you an advantage over free to play players" pick a side homie ahah

The "itch" he referred to is the psychological manipulation to spend money. Computer games are commonly less predatory, but that is, sadly, starting to change.

that pause at 6.20 thought my screen froze haha

that guy is one of the reason why freaking one cosmetic armor set cost as much as the whole game itself

This is genuinely pretty sad, watching a guy describe how a genuine love for playing games with other people turned into a gambling addiction

I died when he used the term "Invested" into a mobile game, like it's provides some kind of return

It creates a class system of video game players where you cannot experience the best person the funnest person of the game unless you gamble or spend a ridiculous amount of money

Imagine exchanging $100,000 for strings of code.

This guy is severely disconnected from financial reality. Guess this is what happens when you have too much disposable income and forget or never knew what it is like to be paying the bills.

Every time that guy tells "I have invested money into the game" I am blown away. You do not INVEST real money into the game to just play, you're PAYING for content, not for financial profit in exchange.

6:31 Money only works if the people who do actual labor are rewarded for it, otherwise the thing crashes down

Check out the mobile game last Shelter Survival. You fight by setting up your troops and heroes in a "apc" and you can upgrade your apc parts. A full set of the highest level parts for 1 apc (you have 5) costs $100,000. There are thousands of bases that have spent over $100,000 on upgrades. There's probably a dozen or so million dollar bases. Lots of big money players in the game though (including at least 2 billionaires). So they spend $100,000 like normal people spend $100

Spoken like a true addict. It's like listening junkie to tell you that spending all his money to drugs hurts no-one and he is having the best time of his life. Oh, and the dealers are really the good guys... you just don't understand because you don't know how to have fun.

I could lift my entire family out of poverty for half the money he's spent on a video game.

it's funny watching this right after the one where he can't play anymore.

I'll never feel bad about spending a bit of money on a game I like now. Dropping $20 now and then isn't even on the meter

Keep in mind that he HAS to defend diablo immortal because if he doesn't and the game dies due to lack of players from poor word of mouth, the 100k he spent on it is essentially worthless...which it is.

I respect that this person seems honest and genuine, they're just too deep in the rabbit hole and have completely deluded themselves. Like they're not lying about anything, they're just inhaling massive amounts of copium

"There is no distinct difference between F2P and P2W", "The only way to get to the top end is to pay" and "The only difference is the P2W get better gear" all within minutes of each other.... The copium is unreal; like how delusional can one person be?

"people want to be geared out from grinding the game and not their job" amen brother

This guy is Blizzard's target audience. They love people like him who will dump hundreds of thousands of dollars into a game and defend it. This is why mobile games are heavily pay to win. It's because people like him dump so much money into it and defend the decision to abuse players like this. It's like that person you know who's clearly in an abusive relationship that they not only never leave and keep going back to the abuser and defending the decision to do it. It's called Stockholm syndrome; and this guy has it in spades.

This dudes arguments is basically "I enjoy buying my way to the top and being better than everyone because of my wallet." literal vile consumerism that the mobile gaming market preys on. This dude is the perfect player all those mobile games BEG to have on their game.

The amount of money in question is insane. Even the most heavily monetized computer/console games are a drop in the ocean compared to this.

Asmon kept sounding like Shaggy to me lol

I feel so sorry for that guy. The way he is trying to convince himself that this "big boy" behaviour is something worthy to be proud of.

This guy is the epitome of fishing for a whale. The game isn’t made for us, it’s a tool to get money out of these guy’s hands

could always get a switch for the airport and have all the d2 you want

The FACT that he just COMPARED being the highest rank in CS GO a 100% skill dependent game 0% pay to win with Diablo Immortal a mobile game that is 100% pay to win, just shows how out of touch this man is...

He lost his argument the moment he said "I invested." I think people like this don't have a problem because they feel like the money they spent is the accomplishment. They "invested" the money, so they get the greater reward.

I'd like to see how good he would be if he didn't have the pay to win power. My guess is his idea of playing his class is run it up the middle. No tactics or awareness just run in.

Blizzard must thanks this guy, this is the kind of target they want until D4. Another awesome video 👍🏻 gz

The moment he said "invest" instead of "pay" was when I knew how far the deep end he's gone.

"I simply enjoy spending ridiculous amounts of money to show my rank vs being ranked by skill." is absolutely a mindset that should seek professional help for so many issues...and the companies who prey on people like him should be held accountable for their deception and greed.

I bought a weapon for $4.99 for a mobile game that I was in love with, when I realized that the blade degrades and I needed a repair kit to save it for ONLY $.99, I called it quits and never looked at it again. Happy w my Steam non freemium library.

The sad part is when you gamble in the casino you have an actual chance of becoming rich even though it is a small chance. But when you gamble in these games no matter how lucky you are, you're just gonna win a virtual item that is gonna be nothing when the game eventually shuts down. The only thing you won is a few moments of dopamine rush by winning virtual items.

"I played a lot of computer gaming and a lot of PC gaming as well and..." yes he definitely is one of the gamers ever.

If you spent 100k on a mobile game ofcourse you are gonna say "It's Not That Bad".

Nearly a year later, I wonder does he still play the game.

I hear this guys arguments. I also get needing some form of revenue when your game is free. But there is a difference between that and spending THOUSANDS on a game, it shouldn't have to be this way. The problem with gamblers like him defending this is that not everyone can do what he's doing and still support themselves and live in a house! People will ruin themselves because of these mechanics and defending the mechanics is synonymous to defending the need for people to ruin their (financial) lives because they are sensitive to gambling or have low self control. That is just morally wrong! This is not about "oh i'm having fun so what gives", but standing up for the people that cannot protect themselves from gambling.

"Me being a pay to play, how does this affect the game of a free to play player?" I will tell you. Because you pay insane amounts of money for the game, you literally incentivise game makers to create games exclusively made for you. You incentivise game makers to add monetization to everything. And this isnt even just mobile games, it clearly isnt, we have seen how this has been creeping more and more into PC games. It used to be that if I bought a game for 50 bucks, I had a game, with everything in it at my disposal, where I could play to unlock achievements, often in the form of skins. Then they started making skins pay to play only. Then they started adding customisation just to increase the amount of payment ppl do. And its obvious why. If you pay 100k on a single game, just think how many copies at 50 bucks that is. You singlehandedly pay the same amount that 2000 other players would spend on a tripple A title. That means any player who drops 50 bucks on a game only pays 0.05% of what a single whale pays. Or to turn it around. 0.05% of whales pay the same amount of money as the entire rest of the playerbase. Why on earth would any company care for the rest of the playerbase, if they can instead try to get more whales. Double the amount of whales and you get 50% more profit. And for most games that only means to get a few hundred or thousand whales into the game. So it very much so affects the average player. Cause games companies would rather build casinos for ppl that dont know what to do with their money, than to create fun video games. Especially as a lot of people never had this type of money to spend on games in their entire life. I have like 100 bucks a year to spend on video games. And these insane purchases from people that have too much money are the reason why those 100 bucks are increasingly worthless. I can buy less and less games, and get less and less content in the games I do buy. And this is just the systemic issue behind this bs. The fact that these types of games systematically take money from children who literally cant afford it pushing entire families into financial ruin is the cherry on top of all this nonsense.

that was almost heartbreaking, the guy is in denial

Brings back memories to the LLD days in D2. Lvl 9 tigersin... lvl 18 chargedin and level 30 bowazon killing things between 3-4x their respective level

He keeps saying "invested" like hes getting a return on that money instead of just lighting it on fire.

I love how he said… “invested.” Lol! Like there is a return on it coming in the future. 😂

Can we get a follow up video on Diablo Immortal and This Guy?

I absolutely love the word "Invest". You have used 100k to find some sort of happiness in a game. The jitter in this guys voice shows that he knows this is incredibly fucked up. its an addiction and this guy is trying to justify what he did. PC gamers want to buy a game and have fun, maybe buy a few skins throughout the process. We like to use skill and theory crafting to get better. 16 Days since launch. its costing this guy 6250$ a day to have fun. let that sink in.🤯🤯🤯

Money comes and goes simple as that. Not a care in the world how high the number may be spent. Just know once we all die it all stays with it.

You'd think a former CS professional would be immune to this kind of bullshit, because that's a completely fair skill-based game (assuming you follow tournament rules).

"It only cost me 50k to get a maxed out character - it's not much compared to other games." I've maxed out multiple characters in multiple games for only $60 each. This guy just isn't part of reality.

As soon as I hear that someone "invested" money into the game I write them off as delusional. If you're engaging in doublespeak right from the start, its probably already too late for you, the game companies got you.

@asmongold Sir, I enjoy watching your videos. Kudos! 👏

I beat Malenia Blade of Miquella without spending a dime and I feel accomplished

"I've only been twitching" is so perfect for this video 😂

I like how this guy trying to explain why it’s not a problem just shows more and more why it’s a problem.

5:36 what a summary! 🤣🤣🤣

You guys don’t even know jtisallbuisness has been around forever now lol a LOT OF PEOPLE forget CASTLE CLASH had a huge role in his community I feel and I came across this video and was shocked to see my boy jt it’s been forever 😭 I love this game and he’s playing it in definitely playing it

"I'm a gambler" "get that itch" dude just inadvertently admitted he has a gambling problem with this video which is exactly why he loves the game so much, he doesn't even realize he has a serious addiction thats being 100% exploited by blizzard, I honestly feel bad for these people I was a drug addict for years and blizzard is exactly like the dealers that would keep pushing me away from getting clean...😔

Now I want him to do (spend) the same to other classes. Hey, it's not a full Diablo experience without trying all classes.

I remember that guy from castle clash !

11:20 He's trying to reason his way through what Rich was able to do but he's basically admitting that you can buy your way to being the equivalent of a global elite player in Diablo Immoral lmao

so basically, "when you're poor and not addicted you just don't understand"
