>>23462897video games are the cheapesr long haul hobby you can have. You drop a couple thousand on a mid range gaming computer and are set for the 10 years at least with most video games costing $20-$80 and with most people buying at least one - two new games a month.
This is completely discounting sales like steam summer sale or winter sale.
for people that work a job. It's the cheapest hobby. there is no risk of injury and no special insurance needed like in a hobby like martial arts all you need to worry about hobby wise is your electric and internet bill and cleaning your pc every now and then. Many people dont realize how cheap and easy gaming is to take up as a hobby. Even the learning curve is tiny in comparison to IRL hobbies like electronics, martial arts, fishing, hunting, camping, bushcraft, arts and crafts and even stuff like wood working which falls into arts and crafts
