Personally, I think it's not too important, just the game is still not ready for the masses and not everyone will accept such fees for their transactions. You can just wait until the gas is low or you will have to accept metrics for your transactions.
I am afraid you would say that. My only thought really is for him to think of other Ethereum like coins and maybe find the ones with very little fees. He really wants to find some cheap coins or tokens that he can invest in. Much the same as with Penny stocks, like spend 100 dollars worth and watch it magically grow to 1000 dollars in a few months. I told he needs to be patient with crypto and he says he is patient but I think ETH is off limits for the meantime unless he can find ways to buy ETH and directly transfer to the metamask account with small fees, but that is unlikely. Anyway, I think the only choice right now is find a different coin to invest with right now.
