Quoted from fosaisu:These #firstworldproblems posts are always kind of silly. You're on a hobbyists website, for Christ's sake, what do you expect to find here? Of course we're all wasting money on silly toys that we don't need, that's the entire point. If you're just observing that a bunch of pinball collectors are richer then you, fair enough I guess. But from looking at your profile you own three pinball machines, probably a grand or two tied up at them at the moment. Half of the world simply couldn't afford to have that kind of money tied up in a hobby. And of the other half that have some discretionary income, 99.9% will still think that the way you spend yours is stupid.
In 2012, spending $6K for a new game was absolutely unheard of.
Now, it's the basic entry price point for a Pro.
Pretty sure those with less funds to spend in this hobby weren't responsible for that trend.
