I bought a $7.50 gold pack on Guns Up! on PS4 the other day so I could customize my soldiers & base and I felt bad for spending that much money on a F2P game. I don't understand how this kind of stuff happens. I get that addiction is a horrible thing, but this is ridiculous.

Anybody have a link to this, or other crazy whale stories? I'm fascinated by this stuff.

Whale here, ask away. Most I've spent on one game is about $2k though

People in Japan spend hundreds of dollars on Pachinko to win cigarettes and chocolate, it's not much of a stretch to paying thousands for virtual items and boosts.

If it's indeed accurate, and supposedly it is, that he stole money from his parents to pay for some of this then I have very little sympathy for him.

addicts usually steal from people they love

Which is precisely why you should have sympathy for him. His addiction is destroying him.
