Not at all. With sites like isthereanydeal.com and random and seasonal sales, I very rarely pay more than $25 for a game. My typical price for a game is $10 and one that I can play with all my friends inline would run about $15.
Grandparent wasn't talking about the games, they were talking about the systems. If you can find one, a PS5 or XSX cost about $500. You can't buy very much gaming computer for $500.
