      I prefer “wallet warrior” for more general use cases besides games with gambling mechanics or in game purchases.

        Saw “buyhard” in this thread and it is 100% going to replace whale and wallet warrior for me lol.

        The high-end equipment that is better in the hands of skilled users or professionals is the equivalent to the high-end equipment and items purchased in a game.

        Whales in games start at the end game and would almost always lose against a skilled player with the same kit.

        The advantage they gain in both gaming and other hobbys is only an advantage against less skilled players or hobbyists.

        So thebmoney they spend on the best of the best isnt going to make them good at the hobby in question. The whale comparison fits with the theme perfectly.
