I am not talking necessarily about money. It is more about the time you need to blast into it.

Take modern videogames, for example. A videogame in the 90s used to be something you could get reasonably good at and beat in a small ammount of time. Fast forward and most modern games that are not explicitly designed for casual audiences require you to train a whole lot just to be good enough to actually play it.
