I used to buy into microtransactions on various games, specifically mobile games. It was a real problem and it was hurting me both financially and mentally. I had to stop and I have not bought any microtransactions since June. Up til then I would buy something every day. If I see something that looks amazing I just have to tell myself no I don't need it. I don't need to spend money on some pixels. I can play The game just fine without it. Microtransactions are designed to tempt you. It is a business model that is very profitable for as long as we keep buying them. I am one person. One consumer. I have voted with my wallet. Since June I stopped and I plan to never again spend a single dime on microtransactions.

Thanks. I just need to keep reminding myself of what strife it got me into. I ended up in counseling for depression. I urge anyone with OCD to seek help. There is help out there. Don't give up hope.
