An avatar for our PlayStation Network profile dares to ask for a hundred dollars. It belongs to the game State of Anarchy: Master of Mayhem.
Thanks to online user profiles with achievements, trophies and avatars, a kind of vanity culture has been created in the world. You just have to see how many people ask Nintendo or Google Stadia have a built-in achievement system even though it is not central to their systems. They were released on Xbox 360 and copied by Valve for Steam and Sony for their PlayStation 3 through an update.
Hundred bucks to show off like an Arab sheikh
And the sale of avatars for the profile of PlayStation Network and Xbox Live another curious topic. Both systems usually sell avatars so that we can customize our profile, upon payment. Sometimes it is a few cents and other times a couple of euros. Generally it is calculated so that the payment seems insignificant or that the money that is left over from a prepaid card is used by not being able to buy a game that interests us.
But today's case takes the cake when it comes to the price of an avatar: $ 100 for an avatar. Yes, you read that right. A price for which we could, for example, buy the special version of a newly released game and possibly some of its DLCs.
The avatar in question is that of the Golden Prince from the game State of Anarchy: Master of Mayhem. A fairly simple game with graphics that look like drawings on paper. But he dares to ask for $ 100 for a PlayStation Network avatar, for some reason. We cannot consider it a scam because it tells you very clearly what it is and does not promise anything that it does not do. He's an avatar, and he's asking a hundred bucks for him, fin.
