Behold, the Sword of Expensiveness

Games,what have you done with the society?

How much would you spend on video games? Less, presumably, then you would spend on second-hand car. One gamer in China feels differently.

 The man blew 16,000 dollars at the pre-release auction to purchase a virtual sword in the game Age of Wulin. Yep, at the time, the game wasn’t even out yet, which should tell you on how much of a fanboy he is.

My exact reaction.

 A fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, or MMORPG, set in feudal China, it will allows players to roam the picturesque countryside, kicking pixilated enemy butt.

Look how happy he is. Or is he?

Other players made pre-purchases too, though not as hefty as the man. One lucky fan walked (or perhaps strutted) away with an as –yet nonexistent Hook of Departure sheath for 1,600 dollars. Another awaits his 2,500 dollars on Lordly Spear sheath with what we can only assume is insane level of anticipation and fanboyism.

Worth 16,000 of your money? Nope.

Personally, if we were going to spend 16,000 dollars on a sword, we would want it to a) Be in real-life b) boast magical powers, like the ability to cut the steel or even the wall and c) to have a phone built, or tablet , or hot tub or better yet, the real life light saber that can cut through anything.
