We've already assumed the average person has a cell phone, even something like 90%+ of homeless people have cell phones (as cited earlier in the thread), and has access to a personal computer to use things like dice rollers and VTTs for RPGs. Once you assume someone has a cell phone and a personal computer, that brings in all the legally free-to-play video games out there, which is wildly cheaper than buying even a single RPG book. Go to your phone's app store and look at the free games. Even if you start now, you'll never run out of games to play. You can also play that a lot more often than RPGs. Same with games for the personal computer. You can find all kinds of free online games, legally. Two of the closest ones to RPGs would be World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14. WoW you can play free to level 20, which includes the core game and the first 8 expansions. Or, if you make enough gold in game, you can effectively purchase game time and/or the latest expansions with gold. The free-to-play "demo" of Final Fantasy 14 is legendary for the amount of content included free of charge.</blockquote>
