What moment in video games made you go "fuck this"?

Does runescape count?

Me and my friend wanted to kill the kalphite queen. He used to cheat and buy money from gold farmers, I never did because my parents wouldn't let me and I didn't really feel I needed to.

I managed to save up 5 mil to buy full veracs, which was about 5.2 mil at the time. Just for referance I made my money picking flax and spinning bowstrings at a rate of ~150k an hour. Making 1 mil must have taken me about 1-2 weeks of playing time. Making 5 mil took me about 1 months or so.

So there I am, falador garden world 2, trying to haggle with my 5 mil for full veraks. Suddenly I see some guy selling full veraks 4.7m and I jump at the chance.

He "has another buyer". He keeps logging off, making me increasingly frustrated. Some guy offers him 4.9m. I put up my full 5M for "full" veraks.

Turns out I actually purchase veraks, but 2x 300k body plates, instead of the 2.2m helm. You needed the full set for the set effect bonus or else it was pointless.

Basically I got scammed out of something like 1.5m, a solid 2 weeks or 30 something hours of flax picking spinning and grinding.

Man I was pissed.
