Compare Two Game Genres Before Picking a Hobby

You want to get into gaming but you cannot decide between two directions. One looks like a financial commitment, the other sounds like it needs friends who are also committed. This compares the two genres honestly, tells you what each actually costs to start, and recommends which fits your situation better.

**Compare** the two game genres listed below for someone new to the hobby.

1. For each genre: describe the core experience, typical investment (time and money to get started), social requirements (how many people, what commitment), and the main reason people fall off.
2. Identify which suits the buyer better given their stated preferences.
3. Suggest one starter option in each genre that minimises the downside risk.

Genre A: {GENRE_A}
Genre B: {GENRE_B}
Buyer's situation: [number of available players, free time per week, budget, any relevant constraints]
