[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7809766, member: 22779"] I'm sorry, but if my choice is paying my rent or gaming, then what right do I have to complain about the price of gaming? Do I also complain about the price of golf? Or fishing? Or any number of a thousand other hobbies that are FAR more expensive than gaming. Even if you're a tabletop board gamer, you're spending a HELL of a lot more than 200-250 dollars to support your hobby. That's what, four, maybe five games? Never minding video gaming where it's about 70 bucks for any AAA new release plus the several hundred dollars for a console. So, yeah, I'm going to accuse gamers of being incredibly tight fisted. If you're buying supplements that aren't actually being used, you again don't get to bitch about the price. You chose to buy that supplement that you didn't even need (since it didn't get used or used very much, I daresay you didn't need it). The comparison isn't medication copays or groceries. The comparison is a night at the movies or dinner at a restaurant. The fact that most gamers are so incredibly tight fisted that they won't pony up to help the DM pay for THEIR hobby is just more proof that gamers need to open the purse strings and actually support the hobby.
