In the end it comes down to personal preference. When you think that *to you* the way you decide to spend money on things is the right way to do so, that's absolutely fine. For you. Others choose other options and even have reasons for that. Perhaps that doesn't make sense for the one that lives perhaps completely different but what is there to argue about?

What exactly has changed in PC gaming, seriously? The internet happened? Yes, I can also play online with my console. And 15 years ago went to "LAN parties". Other than that and that Steam "happened", I can experience the same "evolution" also on a console, especially given that many games from consoles are also on PC or vice verse (at least the games I play).

Mobile phones? What's that to do with PC gaming?

I also don't know why you had to bring food into a discussion which is mainly about gaming and PC. I only wrote about wasting money, not wasting crucial ressources. And yes, people waste money for their gaming needs. Where they also waste money is off-topic and should be discussed in a separate thread, in a non-gaming category.

Still doesn't stop others from judging you, that's just a fact of life. You can spend whatever money you want and neglect it to the high heavens but it's not going to stop someone like me saying "hey you're wasting your money, you should probably better yourself or at least use your money wisely". What you said does make sense but like I said before, it does not stop any and all judgement let alone observation from someone else.

A lot has changed, the hardware, the prices, the way we game in terms of peripherals, gamepad evolutions, the online gaming, digital gaming is huge on PC compared to consoles, that's a big difference and change with the platform like it or not. What you consider small and insignificant makes no great difference, the fact of the matter is time has changed a lot of things, for PC a lot has changed, yes consoles have changed as well (I see we're now reaching that point in a debate where we must mirror and put things as 50/50 equals), but to a point where they only go so far, each gen they are stuck to a specific defined piece of kit. With PC's, hardware evolves around the clock all the time. Years ago hardware was insanely expensive and the upgrades were beefy, now we're getting smaller sized hardware, mini desktop builds, better cooling, 4k res jump (consoles will be stuck at 1080p for some more years).

I was pointing out that mobile phones as being part of technology have advanced a lot in the last 15 years the same way PC's have, lets not deviate.

Again you're deviating from the main point. I was generally referring to neglecting an investment whether it be on food or a product. I don't know why you're now telling me we should take it to off topic considering my question was aimed at someone else and not you, but you stepped in to tell me otherwise. I take it this is the end of discussion part, or are we going to stretch this further based on what I've said and deviate even further to the point where you go "what are you talking about?".



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
