[–] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 child) Escape from reality. $120 is a lot less than buying and keeping any of the cars in the game. That. And it's safer. It's probably alot more than that but definitely escaping reality. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] corey931@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 months ago True that and I like the occasional car game as well. Definitely cheaper. Personally, I just find it crazy how much game prices have increased over the last couple years. And the gaming market has grown quite a bit, so that’s why they can do it I guess? Idk. And are people escaping more in general these days or are people simply escaping differently, so watching less TV etc? Would be interesting to learn about actually but maybe that’s a different discussion permalink fedilink source parent
