    Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.

    Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I’ve spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.

    Then there’s Steam…

    * note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

      700 bucks for a wheel is kinda mid tier, I say this with a 300 buck logi wheel.

      Starts getting pricing when the drive motor alone is 1000 -2000 see fanatec
