I would have thought you'd have to be an idiot to spend hundreds of dollars on a silly Transformers card game but apparently people will do it. Who in their right mind would ever spend that much money on something like this? Hundreds of dollars? Seriously? That's insane.

It's not only that a few people will spend hundreds of dollars, because that's going to happen in almost any kind of game with options to pay to get "more".... more time to play, more money, more powerful weapons, that is. What concerns me at this point is that Mobage seems to have it in their heads that rather than that being an aberration or a group of statistical outliers, they seem to think that they can force EVERY PLAYER to do so.

So smart, but also kind of stupid. I guess they'll only be happy when 500 people are playing, but everyone one of those people is spending hundreds of dollars a month.

As a side note, I spent a total of about $60 on War for Cyberton AND Fall of Cybertron, which I can play any time and had years of development effort put in by dozens if not hundreds of talented people.

This game was created by 3 dudes with half a brain each and another dude who sits around doodling transformers all day with a digital crayon. If you're looking for Transformers pictures to look at, you can do that on DeviantART and other sites for free, FYI.
