He must have some really nice friends; parents that might not have many kids; or parents that have [a] really good job(s). The rest of this post isn't directed at you at all. --------------------------------- I feel like a lot of people are exaggerating here in both directions. A lot of people seem to think its super cheap or super expensive. I'd guess almost all of it would have to do with income vs. expenses. Raising kids is expensive - clothes, food, gas to drive them to school/daycare or staying home and instead having no job, etc. Having a car is expensive - gas, loans, repair, etc. Having a job isn't 100% income, gas - you still have to drive there usually. Living is expensive - food, drink. Having a house is expensive - heat/ac, electricity, phone, internet, probably TV. Insurance - car, life, house. Schooling expensives. Taxes. ---------------------------------------- My point is that it all adds up. I'm not against PC gaming at all, but I feel like some people need to realize that not everyone is as fortunate. I'm finally able to get a fairly nice PC pretty soon. It was hard for me to get here, and it's a PC that is like 1/5 or less of the cost of some of you. (Or way^20 less for a few of you). And I'm far from poor. Also people need to stop being negative against PC gaming on the other hand as well. Play games, don't hate! |
Good post and I think you make some very good points
PC can be very expensive to get into up front. Especially for an enthusiast rig. The real benefit for PC gaming is the software. Thats where its "cheap". But yes your right being a PC gamer at first is by no means cheap.
Also good to hear your gonna be able to get your first gaming PC. Awesome news and when you get one hope you enjoy it. Your going to love Steam sales!
