A PC will always be the best gaming platform, this doesn’t mean it’s for everyone though.

This is why I don’t understand the PC master race, sure your games look better on your pc than my pa5, but your pc cost x3 the price so yeah

You’re locked into a box with very minimal choices for upgrading, you can custom build a pc based on your budget and get better results and more freedom with a pc.

The pro is that every game marked ps5 I know for a fact will run on my console. I would never buy a gaming pc and constantly throw even more money at it to upgrade it. I don’t have to trouble shoot or adjust settings or adjust my pc so I can run the games without issue. It’s just more convenient, i game on console cause it works for me, i don’t see the need for downvotes, that’s just fragile.
It’s also funny how steam people are all “graphics isn’t everything” while also saying “my machine runs better graphics than yours”

Yes, if you’re lazy and/or poor consoles are the better option.

Tariffs are affecting everyone equally.

nah, it’s only if you are to lazy to learn. i bet i can play more games on a budget pc than on a ps5, even with integrated graphics nowadays, because PC’s have a back catalogue from the last 4 decades, and thats before getting into emulation of classic consoles like NES, Megadrive and a lot more platforms.
Consoles are just good for switching your brain off, which is a valid reason to get one. But the price of 5 console games gives you enough wiggle room to get a decent graphics card which will run pretty much everything you want, and it will do so for the forseeable future.

Until you’ve paid hundreds of dollars into using your own internet to play online (on servers your console company doesn’t even pay for)

I didn’t downvote you lmao
Owning and keeping a pc working is not hard, and I can run any game I want to lol
Just because you don’t have the headspace available to own and operate a pc doesn’t mean others can’t do so.
Enjoy your walled garden and 30fps

You pay more and it looks better. What’s not to understand?

And run multiple OS, multiple monitors, not tied to any proprietary online service or store, tons of peripherals, fully customizable look, etc.
It’s not just gaming you get for the $. You get choices and lots of functionality.

Steam sale

They don’t sell gaming pcs on steam
Psythik@lemm.ee 10 months ago
What they’re saying is that the lower cost of games balances out the cost of the PC. Accessories are cheaper too, and there’s no subscription fees to play online.
And like another person pointed out, you can spend the cost of a PS5 on a PC and you will get similar performance. You only have to pay more if you want better graphics than what the PS5 can do. It really is that simple.

They do. The steam deck.

Ah yes, costs more than the ps5 but has no 4K, no thanks

We can run the same games at the same settings on an equally priced PC as your ps5.
It is because we are the masterrace that we can increase the quality if we feel so inclined.
