Some people spend hundreds of dollars for virtual money to make their gaming experience easier or more rewarding. 

How do these games convince people to spend so much money on something that only exists in ones and zeros? 

This video by DNews has the answer, and it is a lot more complex than just asking for your cash up front. 

Speaking of cash, have you noticed that it seems easier to spend your money when it is coming from a debit or credit card rather than actual cash?

More about that in the video, so what are you waiting for? Let us know what you think in the comments!
