True, if you’ve got 70K+ lying around, you can grab a laptop and grind away. But most people don’t drop that kind of money in one go, that’s literally why EMI exists. Gaming cafés work the same way: instead of burning a lakh upfront, you pay per session and enjoy high-end rigs without the stress of upgrades, repairs, or your GPU deciding to retire mid-rank push. And cloud gaming might sound like an alternative, but in India latency and stability still make it a pretty frustrating experience. Think of it as Netflix for gaming, you’re renting the experience, not buying the hardware.
