But you don’t even consume this. You can’t even give the experience to someone else to enjoy. They made up a fake person and gave a pretend product to them, and billed your bank account in real dollars. This doesn’t make a bit of sense to me

Why are you pretending not to understand this? In gaming you control an abstraction of a person and it's entertainment to you, the real world person. In passive drama you likewise watch events happen to imaginary people. Why do we have to explain this to you?

Because I want to see how you rationalize throwing the money you need to survive away on a fantasy

They don't need the money to survive, perhaps they have excess or they have deemed other things more important and allocated their resources accordingly.

You don't need to understand it, you don't even need to accept it for it to happen. You're discussing in bad faith.
