^Personally, I think spending on a game is better than buying cigarettes. Much healthier and a habit easier to kick than trying to quit smoking.

However, the things we could buy for the amount we spend on a game depends on which country we're in and how the money is used. Where I live, $600 won't cut for a summer course but will buy a normal college course. Neither would it do for rent or food for an extended amount of time. Even if we spend to charities, not all of the money goes to the cause because there are staff salaries to pay. I'm not trying to depress anyone, but it's a tough world out there. As long as people want more money, we will continue to have poverty even if we stop spending on a virtual game.
