I'm single--I have no reason NOT to dump my entire
disposable income into the gaming industry.

I'm not saying there aren't some upsides.  I've got a
cousin I introduced to OGRE and DSII. . .I think he
just turned 13 (we have so many March birthdays in my
family that we just hold one big celebration at the
end of the month).  But it's best if they are someone
else's so you can feed them sugar and give them back.
