(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Why is it that people are still buying games when the whole world is in such a depression right now? Is it because we all need to blow off steam? But with hefty prices for consoles, games, and even controllers, I don't get it. If anyone has input, I would like to know some others opinion on this.

Because people aren't in such a bad depression that they are all homeless. The majority of people who get them anyway are people who are 12-25. And from 12-19 most kids still have their parents buying them all this crap (except mine, lol).

I'm trying to say not everyone has something to worry about. If you have a stable job and cash flow, you're good.

That's true. But I know people without steady cash flow still play games and I want to know why. Why and how they buy and play games that they can't really afford.

Bad priority settings.
