What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Gaming. It used to be an MMO for like $15 a month. Now it's a new game for $70, the game has DLC for $20-$30 or skins or some battle pass.

This is honestly why I pirate. I don't agree with the pricing model and 9/10 I find out I didn't enjoy the game after all. I do buy games that are reasonably priced and I did enjoy, the latest one being ember knights. Fantastic.

I started gaming back in 90's and here it was just buy a game and you got i all. Then I got to pc gaming and watercooling, in the 00-10, And then something happend in these Decades becous what I used to pay fore a full pc with high end components and watercooling is the damn price fore the RAM.
