What other hobbies do you have? lazing around in your backyard? wait, no, even keeping a backyard to begin with is probably more expensive than gaming. Lazing around on your neighbor's backyard?
Reminds me of an official poster for a series my daughter loved, whose comments area was filled with complains like "$20 is still too high!", "these prices are insane!" and so on. So I kindly posted a link to a sale going on a photography blog I frequented, where myriad people were gushing over the opportunity to acquire a small-ish print from a relatively famous photographer for a mere $200.
Hell, I even started gaming again because of its price; buying photography lenses was getting too expensive and needed a cheaper hobby. Now that mainstream film has been discontinued and the cinema fad drove the prices of equipment upwards... ugh.
Even the guy I know into mountain climbing spends more than I do on his hobby, in spite of having so many friends in the industry he gets practically everything with a 90% discount, and don't get me started on my younger brother and his cars.
