minus-squarePresident Camacho@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·vor 57 MinutenWell, when you add the cost of the console to the cost of the online subscription… Not sure the pc is all that much more expensive. Also, just with Steam sales, the amount of money you save is pretty impressive. Lastly, when that pc dies, my next pc will still be able to play all the games from the previous pc. Not quite the case with consoles. All around, pc is a clear winner. Did I mention I installed Bazzite? It rocks. Microslop gets to eat a bag of dicks and to me, that’s worth all the money in the world.
