Ok Darius. Investments aren't for broke people.

If you're saving up for a gaming system, you're already thinking ahead. Far better to get the thing that costs less.

Also, you know what actual broke people do? They don't buy stuff new

One might think that people who buy cheap gear have a choice between buying cheap gear now and newer cheap gear in a few years or spending the same amount of money on more expensive gear that they won't have to replace that quickly. This simply isn't true.

I spend a lot of time in virtual worlds, also reading about virtual worlds. Second Life requires hardware with at least some oomph nowadays. However, there are Second Life users with 15-year-old bottom-of-the-line consumer notebooks. The stuff that supermarkets used to sell from pallets. 2 or 4GB of system RAM (you need this much as VRAM nowadays), on-board graphics etc. They've probably bought it used, but still quite a while ago.

Why are they still using that old clunker? Because they've never been able to acquire any other more powerful computer ever since.

I think it's even worse in OpenSim where those end up who can't even afford Second Life.
