Decline Your most shameful cosmetic purchase

[Ludo Lense]

What the title says. What, if any, is your most shameful cosmetic purchase for a game.

Note: If you spent 1000 dollars on a skin and you are okay with it then power to ya. I am referring strictly things you feel bad about.

So me first.

I LOVE ARKHAM HORROR THIS MUCH

So I spent 10 bucks on shiny dice.

I actually spent more on other things but I always look at these damn dice as my most decadent first world purchase.

Does it glow in the dark?

 

[JarlFrank]

I don't buy cosmetic stuff.

In before guys who blew thousands of dorra on Star Citizen virtual hangars...

I think I bought the blood splatter pack for shogun 2 in a bundle, always makes me cringe when I see it on the list.

Though I don't what's wrong with op and the dice. The only fault I can find in them is that they're a bit unreadable, so if you dig that kind of style...

I bought two sets of these and they never make me feel ashamed.

 

[Ludo Lense]

Does it glow in the dark?

No they do not. And given their usage in a board game that would be a bit useless.

I bought a bunch of PS1 games for PS3 in Playstation Store. Being drunk, obviously. Not very cosmetic, but I had to confess somewhere.

 

[Venser]

I bought some boxed games that I already owned in digital format, just so I can display them on my shelf. Does that count?

 

[Andnjord]

I bought some CK2 sprites (I think the Russian ones).

 

[Crooked Bee]

I bought that Japanese day cream once that was totally overpriced.

 

[rohand]

I pre-ordered

 

[Andnjord]

I pre-ordered

Confess your sins child, what shameful game excited your lust? Only in the Codex Hivemind will you find salvation.

I'd rather not confess it was Duke Nukem Forever BOS Edition "Dice and Poker Chips FTW" deluxe box

Play one evil melee build in Planescape and one all priest party in Knights of the Chalice and thou shall be in peace.

I bought virtual coins with real money in an MMO once and spent it on something generic

You are the reason why we can't have nice things!

 

[Excidium II]

I never bought any cosmetic stuff that wasn't bundled in a GOTY edition or whatever

 

[moraes]

A lot of Crusader Kings II sprites and portraits. I know is cosmetic stuff, but somehow it feels wrong to play without them. For example, the "Crusader Kings II: Military Orders Unit Pack includes unique unit graphics for the Military Orders of the Christian faith", ergo the default sprites are not unique for the military Orders, and that triggers me.

I seem to remember you purchasing merchandise of dubious value...

"merchendise of dubious value" ....hmm...*thinks*...could be the Oblivion Collection box, other then that i have no idea.

I bought a fishing Jax skin for League of Legends some years ago. Haven't actually played the game in like... three or four years.

 

[Maschtervoz]

I bought some CK2 sprites (I think the Russian ones).

Heh, I bought those too. I can't help it, I just love the look of medieval slavshit too much.

 

[pippin]

I bought and used Bioware points. I feel dirty just by admitting this. I never bought horse armor though...
Other than that I can't recall buying anything "cosmetic" for my games. I tend to stay away from games which are heavy on the "Skin Pack" dlcs.
