10 of the Most Expensive Microtransactions in Video Games

Apathy Bear Gun, $552.15 (Gun Bros)

There are some mobile games that are shameless in their embrace of the free-to-play, microtransaction heavy design model, and then there’s Gun Bros. A straightforward action shooter title with a bevy of different options for weapons and equipment to use, it’s easy to lose several hours blasting away in the game and easier still to sink a large amount of money into new items to use if you’re not careful.

The most extreme example of this is the Apathy Bear Gun, an item that while hilarious in its special effect also ran players $552.15 of real-world currency just to use it. Never mind a new weapon for your character; a player could afford to buy a new game console and several complete games with that much scratch.
