If you don't want to spend all expendable money for your hobby, it's not your hobby.
Absolutely true, but that wasn't my point. In fact, it illustrates one of the reasons why our hobby is so niche. Most gamers spend much smaller amounts of money for their enjoyment. The fact our hobby requires such a large financial investment to enjoy it to its full potential, unsurprisingly contributes to its niche appeal.
