    Lol. That would depend on many factors. Graphics, length, system, story line, etc.

    I never was much of a gamer except for the time I worked as the A/V tech for a "distributor" repairing juke box amps and monitors for video arcade games. In my off time which was most of the time I'd be out of the tech shop and on the floor "testing" uprights and pinballs. Once in a great while the general manager would wander by and ask how they were working, (he knew the score) and I said this one's ready to go, he said just don't test it too long and wander away. Great job when you can goof off all day and still get the job done with no complaints from the boss.

    That reminds me he was a CBer and his handle was Camel Driver. He was Israeli, the Jews on this site get the joke, if you don't just ask one. (;->) Oh, just for funnies here's the marquee of one of my favorites.

    I liked the arcade stuff, and pinball too. Not so much the new games.
    Worked on gaming projects for $$$, which I preferred to playing them.

    Used to love pinball. Especially Eight Ball Deluxe.

    Not if you are just sitting on the radios, doing nothing with them. I can sell my Steam account right now for about $300.

    ...Note the if. Ofc it's problematic to spend that kind of money if it is a financial strain.
    It's not a matter of opinion, if the poster said there are marital problems, and refuses to address the root cause (Filling a house with unused radios)...

    Yes, I know. In that particular case and I am sure others. But there are people who can afford such things and it doesnt cause problems. Just like anything else it has to be done realistically.

    I've been sitting on stock for 10+ years, it's only paper. But the money is there.

    That guy needs to get to a doctor fast !! He is at very least going to need diabetes medication, blood pressure medication, and God knows what else in addition to a strict weight loss diet program.

    I play pocket pool. Does that count as being a gamer ?
