Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.
Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I've spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.
Then there's Steam..
* note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

Uh oh, I've spent about $2,000 on my racing setup (moza r9 wheel base, SR-P pedals, RS V2 wheel, FSR Formula wheel, and ES wheel) and for me its been worth it, but it is ludicrously indulgent. Raced against (drove in the same race 3s slower a lap) a bunch of F2, F3 and F4 drivers and even Romain Grosjean. I was running on a cheap second hand G27 for 6 years before upgrading though, I would recommend going through that first to make sure you really want to race frequently enough to justify the cost.
