Daughter Over EA Points

Today, I wanted to buy 135 euros worth of EA points to open packs; I could easily spare the money, and it just seemed fun to do for once. But at the last moment, I decided otherwise. • I went grocery shopping with my 2-year-old daughter and let her choose what we’d have for dinner. I got her favorite dessert • She rode the carousel four times, laughed her heart out, and played with other kids the whole time, having the time of her life. • We had cake together at a nearby café; I had coffee, and she had hot chocolate with whipped cream. • She got to pick out two gifts at the toy store because I feel she’s been behaving excellently lately and is developing well in everything that matters for a 2-year-old. • I also treated myself to two of my favorite wines for tonight’s dinner, which I’ll be cooking up in style. Not only did I spend far less than those 135 euros on packs, but I also gained so much happiness. I had a fantastic day with my daughter, and as I type this, she’s already thanked me three times for the wonderful “daddy day.” Think about that next time you feel the urge to spend money on EA. Thank you for reading, and I wish you all the happiness in the world!

A father describes choosing a joyful day with his 2-year-old daughter instead of spending 135 euros on EA points to open packs. The exaggerated wholesome story turns into a sarcastic anti-microtransaction reaction, used to mock the urge to waste money on loot boxes and praise real-life happiness.
