I think it’s a mixed bag. Yes it’s just money but that really depends on how much you have to spread around between stuff, and yes, I’ve spent money in the past on things after persuading myself that I’m loosing money that’s sitting in savings due to negative interest.

Also I agree that I’ve convinced myself in the past to get things with a possibility of using them for different games only to never use them or get something more suited.

Time is valuable and yes, ultimately that’s probably the limiting factor on how much we can spread around between all of the stuff we get for our hobby.

BTW, I’ve just had another game of Core Space this afternoon so 5 games = £37.80 ?

So really if fomo drives us into buying things and we get use from them it’s all good, but if be buy things and they sit on a shelf and never get used then it’s probably bad. It’s a tricky one to pin down isn’t it.
