Saying "PC gaming was so expensive ten years ago so its too expensive." does nothing to show how it is today. You know what else was expensive back then? Flatscreen TV's, widescreen TV's and LCD monitors. Times change, PC gaming does not make you destitute like he makes it sound. Like I've stated earlier in here, I still run new games on my rig from four years back (I am buying a new one now though) and I recently bought over 30 full games for about 50 pounds through Steam PC. The games are dirt cheap and the PC version is always technically superior, two good reasons to play on the PC (and partly why I do it). You also get access to a back catalogue that console gamers can only dream of along with emulators giving you full access to every console's back catalogue as well. Is PC gaming expensive? If you want to keep playing every game all the time at absolute max settings, then yes, at least somewhat, but its all relative. Otherwise; no. Even with a new GPU every single year, it won't cost that much, especially with the ridiculous hardware prices in the US. People spend just as much or more on cellphones every year anyway. In fact; a new iPhone will cost you as much as a decent stationary gaming PC and then you have to add in phone bills on top. Its all about priority, you want a gaming PC? Skip the iPad (or similar things) and the new phone every year and its done, no problem. Its what I do. |
IMHO he was just telling his own experience. I dont think he was so much telling people... you know what never mind, maybe he was
