    Who needs a new computer every couple of years. 5-7y is normal. You should be able to buy a desktop for a 10yo and have it last till college.

      LOL, not in the '90s!

        That’s a good point. I was born in the 90s but I don’t remember upgrading my computer that often in the 2000-2010 era when I would have started playing. Maybe I didn’t play intense games or something.

      That’s really a modern thing. It used to be that you’d buy a nice PC and 3-4 years later it can’t play new games at an acceptable frame rate and resolution.

      Tech used to advance pretty rapidly, but I’m just going to assume they weren’t swapping out parts themselves and they were either talking about staying top of the line or it wasn’t really that good in the first place.
