<1.24> OtakuMaker Bundle #22. First time I've ordered anything from that site. Not the best - some of the pages have near-white fonts on a white background and I have to wait up to 24 hours for the steam keys.

Does Brands Hatch get any money from that?

God knows they need it.

I think iRacing pay them a huge fee in order to licence it and scan the track. Not sure if they get anything from each purchase. The reason I got it for a couple of quid is that I used my participation credits ($10 per season) to pay for the bulk of it.

Stick it in angle brackets and it will add you on.

I'm at zero because I tried to get all the Fallout DLC for free as per MaliA and it got clawed back.

I've genuinely spent nothing on games because I don't count anything where I've used a voucher or credit that was gifted to me.

It makes good financial sense. If anyone else wants a GTAV disk for £20, I'll do the same.

I need to add <607.40> to make my total accurate. I've bought shit loads of stuff which I haven't put in here.

I can share my spreadsheet if anyone would care to... No?.... No one? Ok... Just me then.

Hopefully that's everything but I should be doing a stock take in the new year so don't worry, I'll add anything I've missed then.

Overall I'm going to say £300-£400.

viewtopic.php?p=887545#p887545

Rather lazily I didn't actually make any entries for expenses in this thread but I'd say that number is probably about right, and indeed the year's pattern did follow largely as predicted.

Didn't buy a console. Didn't upgrade my PC.

Steam history for the year shows £230, plus £20 for a 'physical Steam key' for Dishonored 2 from GAME. Add on WoW subs (£120), but no Hearthstone spend as I'm totally freeloading the game now, and didn't spend anything on mobile gaming IIRC. Think I spent £20 on the Protoss SC2 campaign.

So yeah, pretty much bang on £400 I'd say.

EDIT - Just checked Origin and there was a purchase of the NFS game when that turned up in a sale, so more like £425.

AND AGAIN - Oh yes and Overwatch, so £470.

OH HANG ON - A Level 100 boost in WoW, so £510.

It's almost as if some sort of thread to track these things would be a good idea. Lol.

I'm sticking with £510 though. Perhaps I should update the thread this year.

Didn't update it here, but I'm a record keeper, and find I picked the right band - £150.45 spent on games. Probably a few other bits that came out of a Paypal balance that had never touched a bank account, so call it £195.
