For me it would have been buying the steam frame (but I am still in the waitlist). Also, I recently gotten into the 40k lore, but there is no way I can find the time and physical place to get into wargames.

    Certain games, for example, Metaphor ReFantazio. Expensive even on sale and the whole “you do not own it despite paying for it” thing. Books and manga; I truly want to purchase a lot of books and manga, but it is just so expensive. Even on sale or secondhand. For example, I would love to purchase: No Game No Life, Smoking Behind the Supermarket, Witch Hat Atelier, and Hey Boy! Let’s take a break? Manga/light novels.

      I wish there was a good monthly subscription service for manga, but I also don’t know if it would pay fairly enough to creators.

        Well, I’d rather own the manga and light novels physically, and I prefer to pay the creators directly. I’m not fond of subscription services, and if that were the case, there are other ways to read without spending money. Subscription services also have the problem with licenses and getting more expensive by the year.

        I usually read the content in a certain way… And then purchase when I find it really good (which is what I wanted to do with the ones I have listed previously). Main issue is the pricing; No Game No Life volumes would cost me €144 (if not more since there are new volumes now), Witch Hat Atelier about ~€210 and at that point, I stopped researching about the prices. So don’t know the price of ‘‘Hey Boy! Let’s take a break?’’.
