But they had a PS4, wanted an engagement ring instead and sold the PS4 for money they could use to buy the ring. Seems... fine to me? You don't have to hold on to everything you own.
Completely agree. Plus, with a wife, who has time for Playstation anyway
With a wife you get an extra controller silly
My girlfriend passes my progress in any game I introduce her to. She's twice the gamer I am :/
My 4yo can kick my ass in Smash. What have I created? What have I become???
You can play with her station
You don't have to spend that much for a ring if just wanting a ring is your concern. You can get a ring for like 20$ on amazon if having one is all you care about. If he didn't want the PS4 anymore why buy him another one?
You don't have to even get a ring but he clearly wanted one and could afford the one he wanted by selling his PS4. Again, seems fine to me.
Maybe he liked playing it but wanted to get her a ring more? Seems simple enough to me...
A bias I've noticed on a lot of social media is that a lot of people tend to assume video games are either 0 importance or heavy importance in people's lives. Like if he gave up his console, it must mean that he sacrificed his dearest hobby for her and that's why it's bad. In reality it's just as likely it was something he used a couple times a month and gave up for something more important.
