Modern PC gaming in Windows is a giant money pit. 2000+ for a machine, 100+ a month for broadband, and even more for the games, services. Then the people that I meet that do this are hardly ever satisfied with their games and are constantly dropping money on the next release. Seem's like a waste of time and money to me. I have more fun playing open source games for free personally.

My machine was $1500 in 2014, I'm fortunate enough to pay $60 for gigabit, and I tend to stick to one or two games, maybe spend $100 a year on new titles. Only a money pit if you want it to be.
