Don't ask me how much money I've wasted over the years on MtG. I played 3 different times throughout my childhood and into adult years. Last set I bought cards in was Khans of Tarkir.
The article is spot on that people would rather play the extended formats. They are more fun, and keeping up with Standard is how you waste a fortune on cards that won't be valuable once they "cycle" out.
