    I have kids and I have a huge library of games on Playstation and PC. What are they playing?

    Fortnite and Roblox instead, which they could play for free if they didn’t want to get cool skins. So, no, games aren’t as expensive for kids as they used to be, except if they waste a lot of money in predatory schemes in games where they could play for free and just 1-2 things to support the devs.

      “My kids are able to play someone else’s games, so games aren’t expensive for kids.”

      …did you even read what you just typed?

        You haven’t read my comment I guess.

        I have a lot of games that I bought (mostly for max CHF 20.-, so max 25$), but they are only playing free live service games.
