Why don't poor people take up a new hobby?
I don't collect classic cars because I can't afford to.
1st of all... You are being an insensitive ****. Not everyone is a trust funder or living middle class.
Secondly gaming is actually relatively quite cheap compared to other hobbies. Especially comparing entertainment hours vs. price.
Not the cheapest hobby but cheaper than many other hobbies.
Mocking someone for not affording food is insensitive. He was just being honest. Video games are not a poor person hobby. Hobbies require spending money. Buying a budget console and 1 or 2 games a year makes it as much a hobby as buying 5 stamps and calling it a hobby.
Gaming is a pretty cheap hobby. Even current gen.
Not to mention you could go PS2 + a ton of games for cheap.
Mocking someone for not having luxuries that you have is a jerk move.
If you have a sports car, are you saying it is not a jerk move to mock people who can not afford one?
