You can play those beautiful single player games that have none of these problems, or play rocketleague for the gameplay instead of trying to play "pimp my car" while playing rocketleague.
I think it's good training for life: practice with temptetion with something as cheap as a videogame and stretch your "resistence" now, so that later when your income increases even further, you will avoid spending on way more expensive things.
I'm talking by experience, wasted quite some money in league of legends, but I don't play it anymore
I played yesterday night couch coop rocketleague with my friends (my daughter, me, my wife and 2 friends), we have the basic cars and had a great time with that game.
And yes, bought the game for super cheap long time ago

I was never a small studio lover, until all the large studios started really sucking.
Tunic, Subnautica, Hollowknight, Outer Wilds are absolutely must plays. Tunic being the latest which has been the closest I’ll ever get to playing A Link To The Past for the first time again.
Exactly.
Well, some indie games are now extremely good, way better than big studios.
FTL: Faster Than Light
Ori and the Blind Forest (doesn't count as indie)
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Invisible Inc.
Hollow Knight
XCOM
Dyson Sphere Program
Kerbal Space Program (to be fair, this is not really for everyone)
XCOM 2
Assault Android Cactus (great for coop!)
Factorio
Dark Souls 1 and 3 (big studio)
Frostpunk
Hellpoint
Sundered
Starsector
EXAPUNKS
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (yeah, this is from a big studio)
My list is really long, so I'll stop there, this is already years of gaming
The big studios sucking has, for better or worse, reduced the amount of time I spend on games.
They don't survive if they don't do something right. Compare that to the big studios who churn out their yearly releases, and get by because they're still milking a cash cow that dominates the 'gaming' headspace for people who prefer to turn on a console and stay busy.
