In-game currency: coins and gems are real money, sentence 1

Games sell coins in packs that never quite match the prices: Ethan buys 1,000 V-Bucks for £7.99, but the skin costs 1,200, so he is 200 short and must buy another pack, spending £15.98 and keeping 800 left over that tempt him to spend again.

Who acts: Games, packs, Ethan, skin, pack · What happens: sell, not match, buy, cost, be, spend · To what, where: coins, packs, prices, 1,000 V Bucks, 1,200, pack
