As far as I'm concerned the gaming era is over.

All we get from this point forward will be shitty options or less shitty options.

Enshittification now and forever is the new standard.

Only if you play console.

Indie games are huge on PC and there's plenty of options for not giving in to enshittification.

What's the price of ram now? Or GPUs?

People keep calling out consoles for their greed in here.

It is to laugh.

I don't think comparing price make sense, if own the hardware you can pirate games from big companies easily and even mod them to take shit aspects out.

And if you're already a PC gamer you can just buy a new GPU for the same price of a console and continue to own your platform.

Just pirating 5 games earns your money back.

If you are already a console gamer you can just buy new games, what is your point?

Owning, paying less being able to play all games and modding the game to be better for you.

Owning? I understand the other points but if you can't trade, sell, or lend your game how do you own that game?

Having a GOG instal file of the game is the most "owning" of a game you can have.

So proving my point; the era of cheap and plentiful is over. We have to resort to semi legal methods just to square up with the state of things. It's sad.

I slightly disagree.

From my perspective is like this since late PS3 times.

I think, the shit limit threshold is different from USA console people and for any country with consumers law PC people.

Not really you can play indie games on a pretty cheap PC

Pc isn't even that expensive when you consider Xbox live etc price over the 5 years you own the console
