    Sure is, where’s that applied to something used 40+ hr a week? You really don’t know who you’re talking to - I’m the guy with hardware purchased 20+ years ago and will repair them and they move with me.

    I spend $$$$ on pro-grade gear but because I’m /c/buyforlife. Don’t be mad because people have different views on frugality than you.

    See your other comment defending gatekeeping, strange hill bb, but like I said envy not a good look tbh.

      Did you drop all that money the second you got into the hobby or did you wade in the water a bit to see if ya liked it? Big differences there, and the relevance to this post hinges on your answer.

        I did research a bunch of communities and YouTube videos of people’s sim rigs first and how the games worked. Then decided if I got into the games I wouldn’t really enjoy them without some hardware (wheel/pedals) which turned out to be the case. And yeah didn’t get all the hardware I now use all at once and plan on some future upgrades like a stand to mount everything. Kinda like how flight sim players prefer their own sticks if that makes sense.
