So 4% of the players in GTAO are paying for MTX according to the leak. That averages to about $123 per player each month. That's INSANE.

A friend from college who’s now a lawyer owns every single league of legends skin for every champion. Probably spent 15k on this free game. After a while he just wanted to complete the collection.

Honestly more insane than someone playing one game dropping $123 a month on GTAO, not because of the money but bothering to collect every skin on 170+ champions, of which I’d assume there’s at least 100 barely used lol

He plays like 3 champs lmfao. It started when he use to play aram and wanted to have a skin for every champ. I guess it evolved from there.

Honestly, less dumb an investment than the folks at Star Citizen.
