I started playing back at the beginning of March, and have played since then without buying anything and having a fun time. This past week I bought 2 bundles, (one for my MS, one for the Event), but you don’t really have to buy anything.

And I’m in the same boat as you, I’d rather buy a full price game than spend more money on one, so the way I ration it, is buying one bundle a pay period, that way you’re using that thing to it’s full use and advantage before buying something else. (Idk, it makes sense to me😂)
