Are there any other gamers in this subreddit who feel as if we are actively being priced out of the gaming industry? I mean we were already being priced out of real life with things like rent, food, etc. Now it seems like the Epstein Class is trying to price us out of gaming as well, the only thing that you could do for relatively cheap once you got the hardware. I returned to gaming somewhat since I find it too expensive to do anything else in the real world now I'm afraid of my current hardware needing replacement because prices for hardware are just through the roof and it’s only getting worse with the increased demand of AI. Once my hardware needs replacing or cannot keep with demand for newer games I’ll have to find other hobbies that are cheap and don’t require me to leave my home. submitted by /u/BugJugg [link] [comments]
