I'll never understand how console peeps can justify paying for online access as a necessary thing.

If they're young enough, they've never known any different.

It's also the only option if you want to play online with friends and don't have an expensive PC.

PC is cheaper in the long term though. Or tryna Steam Deck at least.

Right, but as so many other threads have acknowledged, not everyone is capable of paying a large upfront cost to save them in the long-term. That's one example of why it's more expensive to be broke. That's why I'm responding to these comments - it's not all ignorance or stupidity; people are broke out here.

That's very true. Being poor is expensive.
