The 3 most expensive cosmetic items in games ever

Most of us usually don’t like to spend our money on expensive in-game items, especially if they are only cosmetic. But sometimes we can afford to splurge a little, although likely not as much as the people who bought the items on this list.

A quick warning: there have been many more expensive in-game items sold (like Planet Calypso in Entropia), but since they had actual use and provided players with an added experience, we won’t be counting them today.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai212d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits212d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf212d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits212d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf212d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos212d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils211d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno212d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Valve: 'Smurfing Is Not Welcome In Dota', Bans 90,000 Accounts

Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.

Fist4achin237d ago

Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.

sadraiden237d ago

Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.

Fist4achin237d ago

Makes sense and cents for Valve. Thanks

franwex237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?

It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.

SegaSaturn669236d ago

This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
