I think I want to get a Pro this spring, frame rate issues are really ruining my 8th gen experience. This is one of the biggest problems with gaming mostly on PC, you get spoiled on the tech after a while. 30 fps in 2017 is unacceptable to me, especially at such low resolutions.

We wouldn't have to complain if devs finally grew some fucking balls. This isn't even about hardware, all my problems with consoles could at least be mitigated if they'd actually allow some control over the software. Every single game even on vanilla PS4 can run at 60fps but the devs refuse to give us the option. Same with peripherals, easily solvable through software.

But what can you do in an ecosystem that treats even the smallest bit of choice as great privilege and its fanboys actually advocating for rigorously closed systems as if anything else is impossible or even detrimental.

It's the same with phone fans, they defend companies that want completely shut ecosystems where every plot and scratch can be micromanaged and controlled, simply because they like the products the company makes. I find myself a more and more cynical consumer and I'm tired of bs my manufacturers, I no longer buy phones from Sony or Samsung, for instance, due to the insane bloatware and poor integration with extensions in browsers that promote a more user friendly experience (bought a Huawei and I'm loving it so far).
