How much do you make? Is gaming expensive for you?

How much do you make?

Enough to live comfortably

Is gaming expensive for you?

No, but I don't buy AAA shit or every new release or anything; in fact I doubt I even spend a single AAA game's price worth of money on "gaming" per year.

How much do you make?

75–80k€ a year.

Is gaming expensive for you?

No.

I'm neet, but government pays me the equivalent of $1900 a month in my currency for the rest of my life, so i can't complain. Been thinking of doing a small part time job eventually since I'm allowed to make $4500 a year on the side without reduction in my government pay
So gaming isn't expensive for me all things considered, but i still mostly pirate when i can, especially aaa games

How much do you make?

I 'm financially good.

Is gaming expensive for you?

No because I pirate. I'm balls deep into retro gaming autism PVM and all but I still use flashcarts/hardware mods. And even when I buy games they usually only gain value over time.

Imagine paying 70 bucks for modern slop on steam. Couldn't be me. I'm gonna say this, wherever you buy a game or not, regardless of the reason, "support the devs", whatever, it doesn't matter you don't matter. So why not save your money and put it into something actually useful? I don't know, buy BTC, renovate your house to add a home gym, get veneers, gat a hair transplant, anything that isn't buying digital licenses on steam.

Early retired. I only get like $1600 dollars a month but I can make more if I wanted to. Gonna start grinding art this year.

Is gaming expensive for you?

PC gaming definitely went out of reach years ago but it sucks nowadays so I don't really mind. Buying a Switch 2 this year, MKW and DK. It'll be fun.

I don't make anything, my dad left me enough money to survive a lifetime without working when he died
Gaming is expensive I guess but I pirate games whenever I can and only actually buy very few games a year so I barely spend anything on gaming

I am priced out

I make a few dollars shy of $3000 a month, but that's before monthly payments (I still live at home, so I pitch in for utility payments and I have federal student loans).

is gaming expensive for you

I save most of my money so I've been in the clear for a bit with whether or not something is too expensive for me. I work from home as well so I don't have monthly payments for a car and gasoline. Down the line I do need a car but at this point I think I'll hold off for 4 years.
What I really have a question about is how people are able to somehow make anything less than $2000 work in general because I also know that you can't actually save that money in an account if you are getting paid by the government, essentially making it so that you never truly build up savings.

Even wagies don't have savings, anon, most live paycheck to paycheck

About 5~6k USD/month, which is a fortune for the shithole I live in. I already own an apartment, a car and am on track to retire early.
Game is really expensive down here, with a decent enough GPU or a PS5 costing around two times the minimum wage
It is not a problem for me to.
I'm a PC Chad ans recenrly also became a tendie

80k a year but i live in a 3rd world shithole, so no
still not buying $80 games

lust provoking question

irrelevant time wasting image

billions every day

i work 4 days a week, earn about 1700€, I only buy games on steam sales and pirate the rest, saves me a shitton of money which I instead can spend on hookers from time to time.

About 4000 maplebucks a month
No but I still pirate console games and buy pc games on sale for < $10
I want to cum inside marie's pussy and ass

Yeah but people on government assistance outright don't have the option to have savings that gain value over time. They can deposit their money into the bank of mattress, but it seems like you disqualify yourself from ever having expensive assets or pretty much the ability to ever make a large purchase by getting government assistance.
I don't think I'm autistic but it seems pretty suboptimal financially to me to outright lock yourself out of savings with the rationale of the average worker not being able to put aside savings, especially when you consider how cost-ineffective the average person can be.

6 figures, but with inflation and everything else, I'm no further ahead. I don't buy many games though.

900 maple bucks a month. I can only afford my room and food and even then only barely. If I couldn't pirate I wouldn't game.

About $80k/yr. I don't think it's too expensive but that's because I replay a lot of old games and very rarely buy a full priced new game.

Somewhere around $60k yearly, which is a huge increase from where I was just a few years ago, only to have probably a worse quality of life due to inflation. I think our auto insurance has jumped a minimum of 40% each of our last 3 biannual payments. Groceries are fucked. Yes when I want to buy a video game I can but modern games are shit so I almost never do. Last game I bought was Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate a few weeks ago but mostly I just play AI War on my steam deck or my boxing game on VR or doom quake 3 etc vr

I'm oldfag as fuck and super cheap I only buy like 1 full priced game a year it was kcd 2 and a massive disappointment
got so much money I don't know what to spend it on

£1800 a month
it's not enough for vidya, rent is £775, council tax is £90, Water around £40, Gas around about the same, Electricity is £70, credit card debt around £100, food £100, Petrol around £80-100, household items and extraneous shit more or less takes the rest.

PC gaming can be expensive, but also may cost next to nothing. I even played on dumpster-bound hardware and still had fun.

PC gaming is pretty cheap as far as hobbies go, I know people that have spent like $50k modifying their cars, I just buy a new top of the line PC every like 5 years and then a $20-40 game every now and then.

You dont playshit right.

i'm always 10 years behind current vidya unless it's some popular crap like PoE2 that others drag me into.

A little less than 60k a year after the tax man is done with my butthole. The only reason gaming is even somewhat affordable is because games worth buying are rare. That and I've been mostly sticking to old moddable games like Rimworld as of late.
Also, would.

I'm a fixed income NEET, but I don't have many expenses. I can afford to play whatever I want and have decent to high end hardware. I try to not pay more than $100 on games per month.

More than enough to pay whatever for any hardware or software that I want
I pirate almost everything anyway

~$70k, which used to be insane for my area but I was annexed by a nearby large city just before covid and now I spend 50% of my money just holding onto formerly very affordable house. Affording stuff I want still really isn't a problem but I've got a large backlog of old stuff to work through so my main concern is major emulation sites getting fucked recently. I can still easily find roms on lesser known sites but Vimm's was just so damn convenient. Unfortunately my PC is finally showing its age and I'm wishing that I'd upgraded before Trump's stupid ass took office but I have a PS5 to fall back on for anything I can't run on my preferred machine.

€6700/month
Still wouldn't pay €80 for a game just on principle

based, what's your job

software engineer

Is that gross or net?

How much do you make? Is gaming expensive for you?

210K/year

The last full priced game I bought was STALKER 2. Before that was Dragon's Dogma 2. I am not buying games anymore. I finished neither. The older I get, the more it feels like video games are a massive waste of time, unless it's something truly captivating and transcending. Something that stokes my own imagination, like a very well made RPG or very well written story-driven game. There are unfortunately very few of those these days and most story-driven games have turned into glorified VNs.

sounds nice, too bad I've always been too retarded to learn math / coding / scripting

enough
I only pirate

$1700 a month most of which goes to my family so I get to spend ~$50 on myself
I wish I could make money in other ways when I'm out of my 9-5

marie

I pirate all my vidya

I wish I could make money in other ways when I'm out of my 9-5

Is there anything you particularly enjoy doing that could translate to selling shit on the internet? That seems to be the best way to rake in a little cash without being beholden to a clock. I'm considering making WW1 style trench clubs and selling them to Anon Babbleunts because bonksticks are the weapon du jour among newfag dunces. If Pakistanis can sell dumbasscus on Etsy then I can damn well sell some hickory.

No, I actually never bothered to develop another skill other than playing guitar, video games and some sports
I was making money at my locals in fighting games but back then I didn't have a job... over 5 years ago before Strive came and ruined the local scene and then SF6 buried it

After taxes I make 1330 a week. I live in the Midwest US. I do not consider gaming to be particularly expensive.

20k, which is actually good in my country, but I still leech from my parents.
No, I pirate everything.

Now would be a great time to see if anything interests you and try getting good at it. I'm also considering learning to draw so I can sell weird fetish porn commissions to people to finance a DEagle.

I work part-time and leech off my parents
26k last year, in California Bay Area
I pirate everything on PC and buy cheap games on Xbox for comfy tv gaming

buying singleplayer video games

part-time

26k

What job? I am the guy two posts above and now I'm feeling FOMO.

based and canon

Marie Rose sitting on my face

I'm a grad student that makes ~27k a year.

Not really. I rarely buy games anymore on Steam just becasue there's not many good ones coming out (which has been the case since ~2012 and going full force around 2018/19). The only game I'm looking forward to is Stellar Blade and maybe the new Fatal Fury game along with Edens Zero.

The lack of good worthwhile vidya coming out is a blessing in a weird way.

a deagle is cheap its like 1000$

Marie Rose

Not Amy Rose

Not a lot
No because modern games are trash so I tend to buy games once every few months at most and mostly on huge discount.

No, a good 1911 is $1k. A DEagle is, at minimum, 3/5 of a mortgage payment and that's for bullshit like the purple one that nobody wants. I'll be paying ~$2k+ to get exactly what I want.

she sits on my printer

And she would destroy you

Marie Rose is a fighter and will protect me but it won't come to that anyway as Amy won't get off the printer for some reason

About $4200 a month after taxes, but bills are only like 1/3 of my salary so I have more than enough disposable income for hobbies n shit

SEX

oh my nad it is 3-4k $
google is stupid

6'5
12''
8 figures
8 pack abs
no

Goodness she’s prepped for BWC!
Oh my goodnesss, you’re so right!

Big chungus

Why is Marie such a bitch?

Enough. Not really as I mainly play old games.(the library is huge!)

20 bucks an hour
kinda expensive, my main hobbies are power lifting and vtubers and it costs a lot to eat and member/superchat/buy merch

Ok FINE she's hot and legal

Wicked Lil Servant

This never comes up

Don't underestimate her just because she's little. She's a ruthless killer of trillions.

That's because they changed her personality after DOA5 to be more generically cutesy to please the Japanese waifu-fags who didn't like her being so manipulative

Like 90 USD a week

It's so strange to me that changing things to please the Japanese audience will sometimes fuck up Japanese things. It's like when Japs complained that RE7 was too scary so they made RE8 an action game which defeated the point of moving away from the action games that Capcom had been making for Western audiences. It's baffling.

That's the same as printing money and that's illegal and you're not giving me a cut so I'm calling the police.

That's just shit taste, bitch Marie is objectively hotter.

No doubt.

It should have been me...
