    Fair but thats your choice to upgrade. No one says you have to, and they don’t lock games behind needing insert current gen CPU or gpu

      Your choice to upgrade just your GPU for as much or more than the entire cost of a PS5 as frequent or more frequently than you’d need to buy a new PS5.

      As an avid PC gamer and PlayStation enjoyer, part of the console appeal is being able to drop a relatively small amount of money (compared to a gaming PC) on a single console and then you just don’t have to worry about upgrades or the performance of games for like 6+ years. There are a lot of us long time computer nerds that are just tired of unoptimized trash or new technologies making our rigs outdated in as little as a year or two.

        There’s also the simplicity. I enjoy my PC for sure but for some people the ease of popping in a disc or downloading the title and it running perfectly on the first try is a major selling point. Troubleshooting my Ex’s PC for 2 hours only to realise I didn’t install the standoffs is an experience I can’t get on console.

        more frequently is a big exaggeration. you dont actually need ultra 4k graphics at 200fps

        my friend still has a gtx960. all modern titles run fine.

      I mean they kind of do with performance and unoptimised games. I can’t play many current AAAs on my 1050Ti. Cyberpunk for example.
