Partially that, but as an example of the social aspect of video games: my college friends and I have scattered across the country for work and relationships. The cheapest way for us to stay in touch is a weekly video game night. We play old stuff, emulator stuff, new stuff we all like, all on PC connected over Discord for voice and occasionally video chat. It is our primary way of socializing with our friend group, often digressing from the video game we're playing into what is going on in our lives.
It's much cheaper than plane tickets, we can all drink the booze we like and have whatever dinner we want, all for the low price of one $60 game a quarter, at most.
- pdimitar 7y agoI get you fully, but none of that requires a modern $60 - $150 AAA game.
- ohithereyou 7y agoAgreed. I even said as much in my comment. We get a lot of games on sale from Steam and GOG for less than $20, often less than $10.
