While at times I've been pondering on how would it be to ditch consoles and go full PC, at the end I come to my senses thinking it's not a viable idea for me at the moment. Everyone can sugarcoat it as they want, but PC gaming, despite the inexpensive year old games, can be quite expensive, especially when you factor in shipping. Sure, free shipping is a godsend when you're living in the continental US. Whereas people living in an island like me have to take in some hefty shipping fees for lugging things over here. I know; I've been there several times. Also, if I were to build a PC, why would I make it with the same specs as a PS4? Wouldn't it make sense to, I dunno, make it more powerful than a PS4?

If I'm going to ultimately build a rig, it's going to be used for work rather than gaming. In fact, I rarely use my current laptop for gaming anymore since the video card tends to crash everytime I play Warframe. I once downloaded Steam only to delete it from the computer a few hours later because I just didn't like it and its policies. Games weren't as inexpensive as people tend to swear about, but to be fair there wasn't an sale by then.

In the end, trying PC gaming was much of a nuisance for me than inexpensive convenience. I gave it quite a few tries, but I personally just don't see myself solely gaming on a PC. Will I give it a chance in the future? Maybe, but I'm way more comfortable playing on my PS4.
