Games

You really think there are no sales on console games? That just shows how you have no idea what you're talking about. There are sales on the digital stores pretty much every week and if that's not enough you can look for sales in physical stores or even buy games used.

Steam sales used to be amazing years ago but are not that special anymore, so maybe you need to wake up? The prices are pretty much the same across all platforms today.

I like to play on my PC at times, I have a Steam library with around 700 games, but if titles are available on console I rather play them there because it's more convenient for me and if someone disagrees with that I don't really give a fuck. PC people who thinks they are on some kind of holy crusade just weirds me out. Mind your own business.

Nah, I don't ever replay games so I use gamefly. Something I can't do with PC. Guarantee I've spent significantly less on games and played just as many as you if not more lol. You don't own games on Steam etc anyway so I decided not to pay owner prices for what's technically a rental anymore. I'll just actually rent it for a fraction of the price.

Frankly, this is some tribal high school bullshit. "Gamers" like you are a detriment to gaming as a whole and make the rest of the PC community look like stuck up jerks.

I'm older, I don't buy games like that anymore. The only game I got when I first got it was miles morales and that was $50. I already had ps+ so I was also getting the monthly free games and also going back and playing backlog of ps4 games I never got to which they patched to make them run better. They also included like 25 free games with the ps5 purchase of essentials which I played through a bunch. 2021 really didn't have a great gaming year to me so I really didn't buy much at all. Control released in Feb and was free as well on ps+ immediately. Ff7 remake dlc I purchased but that was like $20. A bunch of the games I was on the fence about getting ended up being free later as well like ghosts of tsushima, recturnal, and star wars force. I spent more in 2022 with must buys like elden ring, horizon, and God of war

They also had a streaming service, which is now bundled together for 1 price, which wasn't the best thing ever but I got a year free because a friend got a code which came with his internet service when he moved and did not have a console. I think it was about 300 extra games to play as well and definitely had some good stuff in there.

Sure gaming could be super expensive but I really don't have the time like I used to so waiting on things I know I won't play immediately turns out to work pretty well with the monthly games given and now the other service as well which gets a bunch every month. I have like 3 years left of top tier since I brought a bunch of ps+ for cheap when I knew it was changing over and since I still had the streaming service it matched it for 3 extra years at the low charge. So about $120 for all 3 years to play a ton of stuff.

One big benefit of the consoles is that you can resell and buy used games for really cheap on a disc.

I bought the complete edition of witcher 3 for 5 bucks and so far it has been my best investment as I love this game and have all 3 Witcher games on my Steam, but I refuse to pay those outrageously high GPU prices.

I was kind of hopeful that the new gen would be better, but they proved me wrong.

… at $60 or more a pop, with no sales.

You keep repeating this lie, but I just saw Dragon’s Dogma for $6 on the PlayStation store a couple of weeks ago.

Only place you get day 1 discounts is from 3ed party key sites because producers don't want to get charged 30% on garbage Steam.
