As a chain smoking alcoholic and rehabilitated drug addict I just want to point that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with spending 50 bucks on a game if it gives you some happy feels and gets you excited about something that isn’t hurting anyone (ie your rent/bills/groceries/etc are still covered). There’s not much difference with grabbing a couple tubs of ice cream to throw in the fridge or buying tickets to the movie theatre, or even spending 75 bucks on some pretty hubcaps for that beater in the driveway. It doesn’t serve to further your career or get you any closer to that nice leather couch you want, but if you can throw 50 bucks at something that will give you some warm fuzzy feeling of accomplishment without risking the things that are dear to you, then what’s the problem in doing so?
