We recently reported on news that Sony will all but stop releasing PC ports of its single-player games on PC, and while those previous reports were from Jason Schreier, a journalist previously shown to have reputable insider sources, another insider has corroborated these claims, adding additional c...
To me, consoles are a giant waste. Like, you got another fully capable computer that is artificially limited to gaming. This is an e-waste nightmare, all paid from our wallets.
Could be lovely to have a sort of thin client for couch gaming.
But to me, a gaming pc is a giant waste, because you spend $2-3000 to play games at a higher res or with extra rtx features, but the actual quality of the game hardly changes from the console version. A simple cheap pc could do most of your pc needs without the gaming function and be significantly cheaper.
In fact a cheap pc and a console net the same results as a high end gaming pc, but at a cheaper price, imo. So to each his own I guess.
You don’t need a high-end PC to get the console experience. Something in the range of $700-800 will run your games no worse than a console, except you’ll also get a fully functional computer that can use its full power for any other tasks.
Also, you won’t be limited to a certain game library, store, or even the OS. You’ll also be able to run any newer games indefinitely as long as your hardware can handle them. And if it can’t, you can upgrade the GPU/CPU/RAM specifically instead of replacing the whole unit, saving money, granting customization features, and helping the environment.
So, to each…their own…I guess?
