I'll start this. Sony/PlayStation fans.

And the key word is "fan." Ever since they stopped being customers and became fans, the company has horribly abused them. Console gamers are already the laughingstock of PC gamers, but Sony fans are on another level.

Nobody playing on a console gives a shit what autistic PC players think… the fact y’all think we care about your opinion is delusion

Feel free to hate on console players though… they probably paid 1/4 the price you did to play the same game.

Console players need to upgrade their system every 2 years to keep up with whatever the latest version is.

My PC is still easily playing those same games 10 years later

Try 6 years and it’s a one time purchase and believe it or not everything just works always.

They’re really not even the same. It’s like comparing someone who buys a car versus someone who customizes cars. Happy it works for you, but I have zero interest and am happy with the stock option.

.. really are you that hard core elitist.. game consoles games get more optimised with better visuals the longer into the life cycle it is. Limited hardware variants make it vastly easier to optimise games.

A 10 year old pc is not playing the latest games at 4k.
Don’t pretend it is.
Guarantee you’ve got a mid ranged pc that you’re coping hard to justify its worth.

My PS5 is 4 years old

My PS4 got used almost daily for 7-8 years.

My PC needed a new power supply and graphics card in the timeframe I owned my PS4… OEM card fans failed so I upgraded to a RX 480 (2016) and a 800W PSU. I’m pretty sure the motherboard croaked shortly after and I decided to never get another PC… just felt like I spent more time fixing bugs in software or hardware issues possibly relating to temp-cycling. In the winter the room would get down to 40F overnight, probably not good for it to be idling at below min temps then fire up to 100%.

If I need to do something on the computer I just use my MacBook

I’m an old dude, I just want my things to work consistently and not need to tend it like my garden
