!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Of course it will happen, but still no one is forcing you. It's up to you to decide how much you can tolerate. At one point you have to decide that it's enough and you wont buy anymore and if it means you can't participate in that hobby then yes you wont participate in it and find a new hobby.
The meme is accurate, but it still is a luxury product and quitting it is always an option.
I've quit multiple things just because the price rose over some predetermined limit.
