| POLL DESCRIPTION |
Reader Deano writes: "I would like to see a poll on whether or not any gamers have ever not bought a game or got into a new period simply because of cost. I am especially interested in recent new releases like Mech Warrior, Hero-Clix, the late-Chainmail, etc. I mean how many people out there, like myself, wanted to play these games or try a new period but simply didn't because of cost?"
So - what role does cost play when deciding to get into a new game or gaming period? |
no role | Cost is immaterial - if I like a period or a game, I can find the money.
|
|---|
hobby is expensive | Miniature wargaming costs a lot of money! I'd buy a lot more, but the prices are just too high.
|
|---|
impulse buyer | I buy first, and think later. Sometimes I get started with a period or game, and I don't realize how much it's going to cost me to get started.
|
|---|
major role | Before I get into anything new, I always figure out how much it's going to cost me. That's my major concern when getting into a new period or set of rules.
|
|---|
minor role | I take cost into consideration, but it's not the single most important element in my decision making.
|
|---|
hobby is cheap | Compared to other expenses in my life, wargaming is inexpensive. I don't spend enough on the hobby that I need to worry about it.
