    Sure but you can get a cheap second hand PC or a laptop or a console to play that 5 dollars game and it’s a one time purchase.

    Shit you don’t even have to pay 5 dollars, there are plenty of games that are free. I’ve been playing Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead for hundreds of hours and haven’t paid a cent since it’s a free game, it’s updated daily and it can run on basically any PC since it’s an ASCII game. This is like complaining that it’s too expensive to get into woodworking because you have to buy a hammer.

    And if you want to play the latest title with your friends, it’s going to be 1-2k on the hardware before you can even launch the game.

    Get friends that don’t ask you to spend 1000 dollars to hang out with them.
