Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.

Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I've spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.

Then there's Steam..

* note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

Over a decade+ that's not horrendous. I've probably spent around $2000 on computers for gaming in that same period. I know people who've dropped far more than that in a single day for their hobbies so gaming really is a pretty cheap hobby
