TCGs are expensive, as the OP said themselves. Personally, I feel like buying them contributes to unnecessary and wasteful pollution, as these cards are not recyclable, owing to the plastic coating and holographic primer. cRPGs, on the other hand, can also be played with friends. Infinity-based games are also not computationally demanding, making it accessible for everyone.
