Money Well Spent?

So I've been looking at how much money I am spending on games. Of course I decided to make a list of the top 10 games I have spent the most amount of money on. This really hurts the wallet and are usually not worth it.
Fortnite: $500+ Save the World, Battle Passes and the logic that spending $100 bucks makes more sense that $10. I sometimes still struggle when a skin just looks "too good," but if you somehow resist the impulse buy, you can make it through the week without spending V-bucks (and find a nicer skin to boot).
Overwatch: $300-$350. Core game, and then of course the loot boxes. Every event I would drop $40. Slowly as my interest in Overwatch started to move towards other games, I'd spend maybe $20 on event loot boxes.
Dead or Alive 5: $200-$250. Base game, then character packs, then costume packs. Oh the costumes. Then crossovers. Attack on Titan, Senran Kagura, Arc System Works, and those costumes I just couldn't resist because of the sexy. I am not ashamed, I like boobies. But I've spent way too much on DOA5 and DOA6 already has me $80 bucks under.
Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V: $150-$200 each. Putting these together because they have generally treated me the same. Base game, updated game, character packs, character skins, multiple consoles (SFIV), It's really nuts, but I can't say I regret spending on this fighting game.
Rock Band: $250-$375. Oh the music packs. They never stopped. When I was playing Rock Band, the thought of playing something like (insert DLC here) was unbearable. And when it finally did happen. Did I need to download those Maroon 5 songs for Rock Band? Yes. And I probably played them only a handful of times. Never mind instruments, cymbals for drums, additional guitars, keyboard, and it all starts to add up!
Pinball FX: $150-$200. I like pinball, I like Marvel and Star Wars. Pinball FX to me is incredibly fun and the tables are quite cool. I hadn't realized how much I spent until I noticed how many tables are grayed out (almost none).
Pokemon Go: $50-$100. The first time I tried it I hated it and removed myself from it for a long time. All of a sudden, I find myself downloading it again and it being completely different. It's sometimes hard to resist the sales for me when I need more pokemon storage or want incubators for eggs, especially around events. I've decided to cap myself and refuse to pay another charge for Pokemon Go.
Hearthstone: $80-$120. I bought a couple of adventures and special offers when they were on. I stopped playing Hearthstone altogether and despite those purchases, my decks would likely STILL get destroyed because of the newer cards. Not worth it at all.
League of Legends: $80-$100. There was a time where LoL was all I played. Of course all of the interesting (and sexy) characters of League got me interested in buying skins. They only got better and better with time. I'm glad I stopped playing because I would have spent triple this if I continued to purchase skins for at the time favorite Legends Sona, Ahri, Miss Fortune and Katerina. Yeah they are all hot too.
Call of Duty Black Ops II: $150-$180. Bought copies for myself and my brother who loves the game to this day. I decided to buy him a bunch of gun skins that he liked because well, he's my brother and I wanted him to rack up kills in style. This one is probably the one I regret the least because it brought enjoyment to my brother and that's awesome.
Those are my 10. It's hard to remember some purchases or special editions of games but from what I can recall, these were them. Hopefully Apex doesn't hook me as hard as Fortnite did, because with all this money I could have really bought more important things.
