Some people that play MMOs rely solely on government disability as an income.

I’ve seen how much people get on disability, I don’t understand how it would even be possible to live on it. It’s barely possible to live on it when people are using it to buy food, pay rent and stuff they need. To buy food and games, no chance, they must have some other supplemental income, even if it’s just from sympathetic family members.

EBT/SNAP could be used for food. But you’re correct - the cases of this I’ve come across with guild members it seems they are paired up with an equally not thriving SO or are in a relatives spare bedroom.
