I see what you're saying but I'm honestly kind of unclear at this point on what I'd be getting for my $50 that I can't get for free if I just, you know, go for a walk.

That probably sounds really dismissive, but I don't intend it to be. I mean, I live in a city and there was a deer hanging out behind my apartment building the other day, and a half dozen Cooper's hawks decided to stop for lunch at the pond behind where I work not long ago. I feel like maybe spending money on the game and the hardware to run it is a little bit missing the point of something? Maybe I've just been very fortunate in my choice of environment.
