The $200 Marvel Heroes “Access Everything” pack doesn’t seem so ridiculous all of a sudden, does it? Path of Exile’s closed beta turned in a sum of $2.5 million thanks to the sale of collaborator packs, allowing the game to continue development and funding Grinding Gear Games for now and into the future. With the launch of the game’s open beta, GGG has turned to selling open beta supporter packs that include cash shop currency, exclusive pets, titles, digital soundtracks, and more. The cost of each individual pack starts at thirty bucks and goes all the way up to over twelve thousand dollars.

Sure you could invest that twelve grand into something intelligent like a used car, an Associate’s Degree, paying off your debts, a down payment on a house, the stock market, investment bonds, mutual funds, bathing in gold dollars, making it rain, bribing a politician, buying your way into office in a small town, investing in the future of MMO Fallout, I’ve forgotten what we were talking about. Ah, yes, twelve grand. For $12,500 USD, you receive a number of weapon effects, vanity pets, a Path of Exile logo and Tabula Rasa t-shirt, skill tree poster, another poster that is signed, a keychain, two stickers, your name in the credits, a unique item based on your design, designing a custom monster, a physical model of said monster, ten codes for an in-game pet for said monster, and free international shipping.

Then again, anyone who purchases the twelve thousand dollar package likely has enough money that the investment is a drop in the bucket. You can check out all of the packages at the link below.
