Gamers are used to being slapped with the all-too-common upcharge for being an early adopter. Or, lately, buying into a fad based around the mythic consumer known as ?gamer.? We?ve all fallen prey to the siren song of buying merchandise that is seemingly meant exclsuively for us, ?The Gamers.? After all, it was only about fifteen years ago or so that the demographic of video game-playing consumers were rarely, if ever, courted by normal purveyors of goods. These days everything is covered in RGB LED lights and specifically formulated with our gaming needs in mind. And while I guess it?s interesting that we?ve moved into a place where gaming is no longer a freak niche but part of the mainstream cycle of goods, it doesn?t mean I want to keep paying top dollar for the ?privilege? to have snacks and shaving cream tailored to hobbies. It?s a nerd tax, plain and simple, as well as the sin that comes along with early technology adoption. And yet, I?m just going to keep buying stuff, aren?t I"
