    What do you mean about unaffordable PC gaming? A 10 year old console costs nearly as much as a brand new PC, like $200-$300 difference. Plus the games are cheaper on PC. Plus all to advantages of owning a PC/laptop. What made consoles appealing 10+ years ago is gone, no more plugnplay, no more savings, and no more simplicity.

    Gaming Laptop $950 released 2023

      I’m a PC gamer, so I support your point. Mine is that assembling a good gaming PC now is unaffordable, especially since the AI bubble has made the prices soar. Haven’t you seen the Steam Machine? Have you seen its specs? Its price?

      So, yeah, PC games are cheaper, but the cost of entry atm is an arm.
