    $60. All spent on feng mins outfit that requires cells, hags outfits, gypsy meg, neas mashtyx vest and plaid shorts, and that’s about it, I think.

    i only spend my cells on things that require auric cells only otherwise if I buy stuff with cells that you can just get with shards, it’s considered a waste of money to me. The grind is real, though lol. 

    Too much money for only a handful of outfits, it’s really a ripoff but I’m tired of wearing just P3 clothing

    None, I stopped throwing money at them as long as they ignore the gamebreaking issues this game has

    $50 to buy warlock wraith, white bride and toxic nurse, plant hag, and madman doctor outfits. (may actually have been $55 or $60, I don't remember)

    I earned a shovel and barbed shotgun for Billy, Blue hag outfit(Sonic the HedgeHag), and Comical Ringmaster Suit for Clown.

    I will probably be buying the $50 pack every other DLC, since they say they will keep doing themed cosmetics for DLC's. I know it's a terrible financial decision but I don't care, I love this game and trust that the devs are doing good things with my money(the outfits are dope too).

    I haven't spent any money yet, but I'm contemplating on weather I should buy some because I want shirtless David as I'm a David main, but I like my lunar jacket, but then Kate is (in my opinion) the hottest female survivor which entices me to play her and not waste money on Shirtless David, but I only have about $16 dollars left after buying Curtain Call and I want to get the new chapter as soon as it releases and I only have like 8000 shards which isn't enough to get the new characters and I don't play the game that much since it gets repetitive so for right now maybe not.

    Around $60. And I am soon devotion 2 so I have spent alot of shards too. Love the store too much :) and have more saved on my card for the new dlc, and coming outfits.

    But then again, I work hard, pay my bills and dont drink or smoke, so the heck, you gotta treat yourself somewhere, haha.

    About $65. I got a few things for my favorite characters and then one outfit for every survivor/killer in case I get a ritual. Except for Billy, Nurse and Huntress because I don't enjoy playing as any of them. My Hag, Doctor and Wraith look snazzy as hell.

    Spent plenty of shards, too, so it wasn't all money.

    I bought the $65 CAD pack on PSN to get more cells, I bought the Feng Min cosmetics I wanted and some others that appealed to me and I am saving the rest for when something else I like comes out.

    $10 for the Wild Asylum Mental Patient Doctor outfit. I bought the Curtain Call chapter for $8, but that was through the PSN store.

    I spent around £14 on the Fog Traveller's sets for Meg and Claudette. Then enough to buy the green Auric exclusive item for Claudette, Topless David, Sunglass Miley Meg, Long Sunglasses Jake and his dark jacket. With actual shards I've bought both yellow sets for Claudette and her brown attire. I'm currently working on getting her new set though.

    I mean I just only bought the auric cells stuff.

    Except Medusa Hag. That ######### is awesome.

    I've spent $0 on auric cells and it will remain like that until a proof of purchase is added per cosmetics such as a receipt. Sure my steam client will indicate if I've made an in app purchase but I want a receipt on what exactly I'm purchasing. If that can't be added I won't bother with auric cells.

    Main reason for this is while they seemingly have fixed loss of progress I don't want to risk losing stuff without proof of my inventory. If Leatherface, Myers or Freddy somehow get cosmetics though I'll probably cave but otherwise I wait.

    I've only spent 20$ on auric cells & have spent some of my Iridescent on a couple of Claudette shirts.

    Devs are right after all.

    They can ######### up and say whatever shits they want to their customers, they are all still there willing to throw money at them for overpriced skin.

    And you wonder why peoples say the PLAYERBASE will kill this game in the long run.

    I got the biggest Auric Cell bundle twice. The first lot I kinda blew through with some regrettable purchases. This time i've been far better with spending.

    This can be applied to all games. People will complain about Friday the 13th yet people will still buy the game and it's special edition. Consumers are blinded by morals and logic when they see something shiny they can add to their collection.

    Personally? If they made every skin, every variation, available for shards... I'd be okay, despite my wasted money. I'd be happy because it's no longer about exclusivity and inclusivity and instead you can either spend the time to get an item you love or buy Auric Cells to get the skin immediately.

    I will continue to buy the DLC's but I think the cosmetics are overpriced so have not paid for any.
