I guess the way I see this is just different than you see it. I think if you can't afford to spend money on your hobby or have no disposable income maybe you should be trying to find better employment rather than playing video games. As far as the claim that it is the "younger" crowd that spends money on these games, I'm going to have to call BS. I was born in 1982 and remember playing Atari 2600 and the beginnings of the NES. Some of us just made better life choices and aren't burdened with kids we can't afford or aren't afraid of work. YMMV.
