You can. Just be prepared for it to only tell the correct time twice a day.

thats actually more than I get to earn per year, currently.

I don't condemn the frustration. I criticize the repeated dismissal of the facts.

If the OP wishes to point out that the regional prices are unreasonable, I'll fully agree. I've purchased quite a number of games on the behalf of Australian gamers, friends and not, just to avoid the stupid prices.

Note I don't mean I buy them and then they pay me back, I just buy them.

This 'rich people' thing confuses me too. I'm wondering what he considers 'rich'. I mean, my wife and I are well off (as in I can pretty much afford to buy games without having to worry too juch about it), but I haven't even come close to spending $6000 on games over the past five years - even if I add the cost of my computer onto that. 1200 bucks a year? I don't come close to spending that much, and my backlog is huge and growing bigger. So, yeah, 'rich people'? I'm not grokking it.

In order to be considered rich, you would have to make over 200 grand a year or more. Anything between 20 grand a year and 200 grand a year is middle class. But considering the way the economy is today, middle class people do appear to be rich to many of us. But fortunately today, you don't have to be rich to own a massive collection of games, considering the amount of sales available nowadays. If you wait for the right sales, you can get $100 worth of games for like $20 to $30. So even people who are poor can build themselves a decent collection of games. I still find new games very overpriced though due to the state of the economy today.

If you are making exactly 200 grand a year, are you rich or middle class?

Good question. There isn't a 200 grand rule out there etched in stone though. That is just the number I picked because I believe many people would consider 200 grand a year the line between middle class and rich.

Are we talking classic definitions, or L-curve politics?

Actually, by US census statistics, only 4.8% of households made $200,000 or more in 2013. The top 25% falls somewhere around the $100,000 mark.

Pretty much.

Forest for the trees and all.

The little guy thinks he's doing nothing wrong but then has to go to a bank for credit because all
the money he could've saved instead was spent on half-assed crap.

In turn large corps turn around and use the interest earned (or r***d) for nasty political practices.

Thing with me, however, is outside of browsing for and buying cheap software - this world bores me terribly.
Animals bore me, all other goods bore me (yeah necessities are necesseities but they're bloody dull),
other humans bore me.

It's...kinda like being locked inside a shut down Disney ride for a really long damn time.

Just ignore it; it's a Charlie Manson 'twitch' that happens every now and again.

Why are you guys attacking Topic Creator? Even on Steam when the game gets removed from library, Steam will INFORM the said user. No contest.

This guy has the right to complaint of his game being removed without notification. WITHOUT NOTIFICATION. HE CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT FRAUDULENT ACCESS SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT AGAIN HE HAS THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT NO NOTIFICATION THINGY.

You guys were seriously brainwashed by GOG if you are attacking this topic creator.

Did you read through the thread? People aren't jumping on the topic creator because of his complaint about no notification from GOG, it's because he 100% supports key resellers like G2A and Kinguin and defends these shady businesses while saying GOG is 100% to blame and in the wrong for not honoring fraudulent keys and justifies his attitude by explaining that he isn't "rich" enough to buy games through legitimate sources even though he has spent an average of $1200 on video games every year the past 5 years. He also makes allusions to condoning and participating in piracy.

I actually agree with both him and you that GOG should send out a notification that the key/game has been rescinded due to the purchases source having been fraudulent. What I have a problem with is the topic creators sense of entitlement and lame justification for his continuing support of shady sites like G2A and Kinguin.

I hadn't even thought of the math until now. $6,000 over 5 years does indeed come out to $100 a month.

Cripes, I wish I had $100 to piss away on a mere hobby every month for five years. Instead, I have bills to pay just to keep a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food in my mouth.

But hey, responsible spending...who needs it? I'll just get my food, clothing, and shelter through a black market. And then complain when it gets taken away from me when it turns out to be stolen goods.
