Hot on the heels of a backlash against Diablo 4 portal reskins that cost the same as Palworld comes a new microtransaction horror: a horse bundle that costs more than Diablo 4 itself.
I have a friend that drops hundreds on Apex Legends every time there is a “Collection Event” which means “Obtain all 20 of these items and get a special item that you can’t get again very easily.”
I can’t put my finger on a number, but for example every time a new Magic the Gathering Arena Set comes out he buys packs until he has a play set of nearly every rare. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more than five figures annually.

At least Magic cards are physical goods.
Edit: But apparently, MtG Arena is digital.
You sweet summer child. He means MtG Arena, the online version. They are not physical goods.
