What a load of Bull!!
What is excluded in the price calculations is bundle's like Humble, BundleStars, Indiegala not to even mention Steam sales where you can pick up loads of games for way less. In fact I never spend more than R100 a month on games and I have so many titles in my backlog that I am still on 2010-2011 games.
Next up is Free 2 play games like Path of Exile, Team Fortress 2, Dota, Planetside, Loadout and loads more where you can play for hours without even paying a cent.
Next up Console subs like PS+ where you get at least 2 games free a month, Hell I have so many games that the PS3 is in my sons room as I dont even get time for for them. Oh and even on PS there are free to play games like Dust 514.
I can go on and on about all the games out there that comes out way less than quoted 2 x R400+ p/m its not even funny.
