Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.

Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I've spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.

Then there's Steam..

* note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

Oh dear, I think I have a problem. I wonder if that counts keys bought for games from other sites like humble bundle redemptions? Even if it does, I guess I should focus on my backlog.

If you're good enough you can compete against real NASCAR drivers. Much cheaper than even the most basic amateur racing such as auto cross.

700 bucks for a wheel is kinda mid tier, I say this with a 300 buck logi wheel.

Starts getting pricing when the drive motor alone is 1000 -2000 see fanatec

Over a decade+ that's not horrendous. I've probably spent around $2000 on computers for gaming in that same period. I know people who've dropped far more than that in a single day for their hobbies so gaming really is a pretty cheap hobby
