Prior to COVID-19 was one of the peaks of gaming. But I say that as someone who isn't even 30, started gaming in 2003, and started gaming a lot in 2015.
A lot of games themselves can still be pretty cheap on digital distribution and using subscription services. Consoles are getting more expensive even taking inflation into account with no price drops in sight.
It's easy today to build up libraries of hundreds of physical and digital games. Much easier than the early 2010s and before.
So no, it's not. Software is super accessible, but hardware should be a little cheaper and games are taking a while.
