      The thing making it challenging is that playing games is expensive! I don’t live with any other gamers, and the cost of purchasing an XBox, a controller, and all the rest, when there’s only a single game I could play on each console isn’t something I can justify. I really hope we manage to break this vicious circle, and that companies don’t give up on accessibility because they aren’t seeing major uptake. If there were five or six games I could play, I could justify dumping several hundred dollars on it. But as things stand, I just can’t. I also don’t own a computer capable of playing Forza or Mortal Combat; my Microsoft Surface is fine for hearthstone and for work, and again, getting something that could play them would be an enormous outlay of money for one or two games. I’m not sure what the way out of this is, but I hope we get there!

        @fastfinge that’s true for gaming in general and I’m hopeful that companies continue accessibility. Gaming is expensive because everything nowadays is expensive. Inflation is a big factor.
