I think the people I feel for the most when it comes to hobbies are the ones who are into computers/games, guns, and Lego all at once. Those guys could make six figures and would still be fucking broke.

Video games are not that expensive IMO, unless you really want it to be. It's my main hobby, I certainly don't have a crazy income, but I still have enough games for several lifetimes. My bank account is not the limit here, my time is.

Sure, hardware cost might be a bit steep once in a while, but you don't really need to go for the cutting edge, and there is no point having everything on release either.

You can buy one game and put thousands and thousands of hours into it.

But pretty much all of us have games that we bought and have put exactly 0 hours into...

I have those too.

Those are not the game I spent the most on though, they're the bundle extras, the games I've found dirt cheap and thought "yeah, I might play that sometimes"... And I am trying to limit those, I had a phase like that but I don't care much about the bundles/big sales craze anymore.
