Is gaming slowly becoming a rich person hobby?

[MusicTokuXX]

Like games are getting so expensive as well as consoles and systems. I mean ngl i researched and games haven’t changed prices since the 90s so…

[PeachyPie93]

Kind of because Nintendo was always my favourite of the 3.. but now its super expensive, I bought switch 2 and two games but damn lol.. If you are a PC gamer you can always pirate and play what you want for the most part.. so it depends how skilled you are and how much you like gaming..

[MusicTokuXX]

Pirating is illegal! It’s not morally right. And you can’t pirate new games!

[PeachyPie93]

Of course its illegal and yes you can pirate new games in like a week after release.. I say if game companies want to fuck us over and have paid DLC and all this other BS i'll take what I want when I want.. I still buy games cuz I like physical copies but I'm not worried about the moral side of what I do..

[MusicTokuXX]

“Of course it’s illegal” you sound like a future criminal or are a criminal

[PeachyPie93]

LMAO Gen Z kids are such pussies..
I ain't gonna get arrested for pirated games.. they only come for you if you are the one uploading them.

[MusicTokuXX]

You were raised terribly! You sound immature asf!

[PeachyPie93]

I work in security so obviously I don't have a criminal background.
You sound uptight asf tho.. You can tell you weren't from the lime wire days when I was a teenager lol

[MusicTokuXX]

What’s lime wire? I was born in 99, you sound immature asf!

[PeachyPie93]

It was just a file sharing program that everyone had and got viruses from.. Yeah you are pretty young, so you wouldn't get it..

[MusicTokuXX]

You’re 31 aren’t you? Says on your profile. I’m literally only 5 years younger than you

[PeachyPie93]

I'm actually 36.. I just didn't want to put my real age in on here..

[MusicTokuXX]

Age isn’t really that important or personal to hide it. But anyways so you’re 10 years older than me, still not that old. You act condescending! So you think 26 is a baby?

[PeachyPie93]

Lots of people treat you differently by your age so some times it's better to hide it. I kind of see you as like a little brother since I feel guys still act childish at 26..

[MusicTokuXX]

That’s so condescending! Who tf do you think you are? You act childish too by the way. Being condescending is a childish quality.

[PeachyPie93]

I never said I was mature lol.. but the fact that you almost come off whiny because of what I say like I must be a criminal because I pirate stuff when majority of people watch free shows, music and games is immature. It makes you seem sheltered, hence childish, and not manly.

[MusicTokuXX]

? So I’m sheltered because I don’t do illegal shit? Ok. Troll! How am i whiny? Grow tf up

[PeachyPie93]

You are sheltered because you think it's a big deal. Look at how you are reacting that's whiny..

[MusicTokuXX]

Because you’re being rude! And real toxic person!! You’re so immature! You think illegal shit isn’t a big deal! Who tf raised you? Criminals?

[PeachyPie93]

How am I being toxic? I am just saying what I think.. Illegal shit that everyone does isn't a big deal, especially because it doesn't affect anything.. Companies still make money and whatnot by ripping off their customers.. like I bought a tiny Splatoon key chain squid and it cost £10 which is basically $20 Canadian.. the thing at most should only be $3 so who cares I still put money back into the company lol.. Plus I buy games I really like, Like Zelda and Splatoon I buy all of the games first day. I bought brand new Switch original, two switch lights, Switch OLED, Switch Zelda OLED, Switch 2 lol It doesn't matter if here or there I play free games.. the company rips me off all the time especially because the quality of games is going down but the prices are going up.. but I don't steal IRL from anyone and I don't see digital media as a real thing to be stolen..

[MusicTokuXX]

No? Game’s quality ain’t going down, you gamers are just greedy and spoiled now!

[PeachyPie93]

Yeah the games are.. they used to sell fully fleshed out games at $60
Now they are selling half filled games for $80 and then wanting you to buy DLC for $20-$30
That is the truth.. Splatoon 1 on the Wii U is waaaay better and had free online compared to Splatoon 3 on the Switch that had online membership and paid DLC.. Most games are getting shitter and are being charged more for them..

[jahaims]

Nope, do you not understand prices increase on anything. You can build a good pc for $1100. New gen consoles are going to be similar in price.

[MusicTokuXX]

No? Bad parts maybe. But my pc cost basically $2k-3k. Also what about games?

[AI Opinion]

Gaming does feel more expensive, especially with the cost of new consoles and high-end PCs. 🎮 However, there are still affordable options out there. Indie games, older titles, sales, and digital platforms often offer great experiences without breaking the bank. Plus, gaming is more accessible than ever with mobile games and subscription services. So, while some games are pricey, there are plenty of ways to enjoy gaming on a budget. Dive into what makes you happy without stretching your wallet too thin! 😊

[Dargil]

Maybe so. Ordinary people have too much else to do.

[In_Trance]

No. It's a poor person hobby

[MusicTokuXX]

What? Wtf does that mean?

[In_Trance]

Poor people invest their money in video games and spend a ton of time playing them.
Rich people don't have time for that crap

[MusicTokuXX]

Wdym? Rich people have a lot of time. They’re rich

[strateguy632]

It is.
