Oh 100%. If I take my wife to a movie, with the tickets and snacks, we're looking at over $50 in Canada, to go to a movie with someone. Or I can wait a few months and it ends up on streaming or the high seas. There are so many movies to catch up on now that it works out anyways

A new movie ticket is $19. Chances are, it'll be like 2-3 hours and half of the films today bore me.

I could buy a high quality indie video game for about $15, that I'll play for a week or two.
