Games are an EXPEN$IVE hobby. Besides the games themselves, there's the consoles, high def TV, plus handhelds, smartphones, and a variety of other potential equipment. A player can easily spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars, and that's just not an option for most people. Is gaming becoming an elitist hobby (akin to golf)? Are we stuck on a path where more and more people will be only able to experience a game through Let's Play videos? Or, like Candy Crush & League of Legends, should all games be FREE? Watch the episode to find out more!
