    I don‘t think people who can‘t cough up 1000 bucks for a console will cough them up for a PC. They just don‘t have that kinda money to spend on videogames. It‘ll lead to people stickin with what they have and those who don‘t have anything (especially kids) will play games on their phones or doomscroll all day. So the whole next gen might be crossgen and/or even tank the industry in general. That‘s my prediction.

      The good thing about a PC is that it can be used for more things than video games. A lot more, in fact. I constantly use my PC for work because I’m too cheap to buy a proper work laptop yet (before anyone gets up in arms, I’m self employed, there’s no boss to ask for things). I use the same PC to pirate media because fuck paying 5 different subscriptions and still not seeing the movies you want to see. And I also use it to browse the Internet on a screen of actual size.

        I’m self employed

        So you’re saying you are failing to provide your most crucial employee with appropriate work equipment? /j
