When I was a kid, gaming was for rich people. Yeah, you might have gotten an NES or SNES for Christmas etc. But most of us only got to rent games and would end up owning, maybe a handful, at best, during the course of the system's life. For instance, in today's dollars, we paid something like $150.00 for FF6 when it came out. Sega CD was $520 ish in 1993... which was a failed add on, not even a full console. PS1 was about $650.00 when it launched. Gaming was expensive!
But then things changed with the PS2 generation, and gaming became relatively affordable, and stayed that way for a good long while. Now, it's just going back to being a rich man's game. That's how I see it. I will buy less, be more picky, and adjust accordingly. That would be my advice for other people, as well. Try to adjust and find ways to still enjoy it.
