    I’m a PC gamer as much as the next person, but there’s no real PS5 emulator and even the PS4 ones aren’t very good yet, and that came out in 2013.

    If you actually want to play PS exclusives past PS3 titles, you’ll need to buy a PS.

      Thing is, nor PayStation 4 nor 5 really had many exclusives to justify buying em. Gran Turismo Sport was meh game of the entire series, and past that it was Horizon and then new Spidey series.

      Here’s the thing with story-only games, these days - everyone and their brother’s cousin’s grandfather makes playthrough vids and story recaps to a point where if you wanted the story, its free and easy to access. Balancing single and multiplayer just about went out the window the past 10 years.

      But what can you do with $800 PayStation besides play games? Nothing. $1200 PC gets you up-to PS3 era console games AND pc games to date, all for free. PC is just a very lucrative of a purchase these days when games are 70-90 Nintendorra.

      no ones forcing you to play the latest games. just play your back catalog of games while you wait, the shit is free after all.

        Nobody’s forcing you to play games at all, let people choose which games they want to play
