    Modern consoles with digital games already blur the lines on console generations, but like, very few games are even using the PS5 to max.

    PC you can decide your own “generation”, and if you upgrade your PC, you don’t have to buy remakes, you just turn the settings up.

    Between that and locking yourself to one entity to buy games from, there’s a lot of downsides to consoles and not many upsides left.

      I was always a fan of consoles, everything is packaged nicely and you only had to worry about buying the game itself.

      Eventually I ran into the problem where Sony prevented me from starting a DLC I bought and downloaded simply because the base game is validated for a different region. Umm I’m sorry I live in a different country now?? Couldn’t get their AI chatbot to help with refunds either (but honestly shouldn’t they prevent purchasing in the first place…)

      Bit the bullet and built a PC instead. Fuck Sony.

          Iirc it was like that since PS3 era no? That additional 256MB DRAM and CELL Processor that only worked fine for first-party/exclusive optimized games
