the_logos: You don't need cash to enjoy IRE games. You just need cash OR time OR skill.

This is why I was curious how pay-for-perk games price "sweat". The only game that would give clear numbers priced it at well under $2/hour of skilled labor (composing fiction and guidebooks for the game), suggesting that for a rational actor, cash is a much more desirable solution than time or skill there. (Unless you value your time at less than $2/hour, which no one of working age should in the U.S. economy, especially for people who have computers, 'Net access, and a gaming hobby.)
