    Sorry I asked, it was an honest question, I’m not into gaming. I didn’t think games were that expensive. This place is really starting to feel just like reddit.

      In some countries that have lower currencies, a AAA game (like Cyberpunk) on PC or a Switch game (think Pokémon) can cost up to 5 days of minimum wage, even with some regional pricing.

      Piracy makes gaming somewhat affordable since PCs may be available through cheaper 2nd hand markets and can be used for other purposes besides gaming.
