    the thing while yes, inflation will make things more expensive, the more expensive things become the less folks will just spend on random entertainment. they will have to use their money more deliberately and frugally.

    and the problem with games are that there are many free and cheaper alternatives. if you wanna game you can just spend less and still game and have fun.

    if you wanna go to the cinema it pretty much costs what it costs so you might go less often or buy less popcorn but you won’t skip one movie because it’s more expensive than another.

    you can just skip full price AAA games. buy them on sales, play games you already have, play free to play games, emulate retro games, play indie games.

      Exactly. Also it’s way costlier to set up a hone theatre at home compared to buying a cheap gaming laptop and play indie oe competitive fps games.
