I thought pc gaming was cheap?

 

It is cheap, I guess not everyone can be a good/smart consumer like me :P

---

26 years of Nintendo gaming for me spanning the systems of NES, SNES, N64, GCN, Wii, WiiU, GBC, GBA, NDS, 3DS

Total Nintendo games = 228 games

----

13 years of Playstation gaming for me spanning the systems of PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PSP

Total Playstation games = 152 games

----

5 years of Steam games (not including Uplay, Origin, GOG) spanning across two PCs (my current gaming desktop and my current gaming laptop)

Total Steam games = 1,289 games

I didnt include Origin, Uplay and GOG (or any of the F2P games) despite having a total of 154 games with these digital platforms

 

Also when it comes to individual gaming prices, the most I've ever paid for....

A Nintendo home Console game = $60 (The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild)
A Nintendo portable game = $50 (Bravely Default Collector's Edition)

A Sony home console game = $50 (Persona 5)
A Sony portable game = $40 (Valkyrie Profile Lenneth)

A Steam/PC game = $16 (Final Fantasy IX)
A Origin/PC game = $15 (Mass Effect 3)
A Gog/PC game = $0 (Havent bought anything from GOG but have 75 games thanks to GOG Connect)
A Uplay/PC game = $0 (Havent bought anything from Uplay but have 10 games thanks to giveaways)

I still spent less money on PC gaming in the last 5 years than what I spent on both Nintendo and Sony games for the past 26 years COMBINED.

How can you compare FF9 or Mass Effect 3 on PC with the latest games on consoles and claim its just cheaper on PC therefor?

FF9 for PS1 costs 15€ physical or 10€  digital for PS3, Mass effect 3 can be gotten for 3€ used on PS3. Not all of these 1000 steam games were full AAA games when you bought them.
