    That investment can last you longer than a consoles life span, especially if you can tweak windows and run lower settings or use Linux.

    There’s people still gaming on 1080s

      I’m still gaming on a 1080 but even a Deck is so good and it’s $350. Less than a PS5. Maybe it’s because I’m old but graphics have met the point of ‘good enough’ that any increase isn’t all that noticeable.

      So more money for a worse experience? Again that’s why I and so many other will always choose consoles, cause you pop in the game you bought and it works. No need to downgrade it or sitting there troubleshooting for an hour just so you can get it to run. PC gaming is such a huge headache, I always end up returning half the games I buy on steam

        I have a steam library of over 100 games and I’ve been exclusively gaming on PC since 2014. I can count the amount of times I’ve had trouble playing a game on one hand since then. If you’re refunding half the games you get then your PC is fucked and you’re doing something wrong.

        I’ve also never had to troubleshoot anything but modded games which is to be expected. PC gaming is easier than ever these days.

        That said I fully get why so many people prefer consoles but don’t spread bullshit cause you suck at using a PC buddy.

          This. Also, steamlink works great imo so playing on my couch is very much possible now, even on linux.

        No, more money for a customized experience that will meet your needs for the next decade
