Especially video games. Honestly as a casual gamer I get it. Games are expensive and they are a gamble. I've bought games in the past and played them for half hour and realized I hate it lol. I rarely buy games now, especially if it's not a franchise I already know and like, because I can't afford the gamble. If I do I buy a physical copy so I can sell it on.

At least with streaming services you can check and know there's a few hours of shows you will definitely watch. It's still tol expensive and I'm cancelling mine but it is less of a gamble than video games.

I know many people are against this logic but you can pirate things as a demo and buy them if you find them good.
