Not sure if laws have changed or not, but I knew people on welfare, who paid like $100 a week for a 3 bedroom house for the department housing they were given. They also were given a concession card for health care and other public services.

As for work for the dole scheme that we now have, I have had some employers say they lie about the person doing work for the dole. The main reason is because it is easier for them to say that then to deal with them on site as they tent to waste time and create more work then the original work is intended to do.

I am not against the dole in principle, but when you can clearly see that some people don't try to get out of that cycle, then something needs to be done. However I don't think it will be as it is easier to create welfare suburbs and ship the problem out of mind and out of site. Give them enough cash not to cause trouble (ie reduce crimes like breakins) and it isn't a problem.

Hopefully the pension problem will reduce over time as now we have super funds to offset 100% reliance on government payments.

I didn't say anyone should just chug their pc in the bin if they don't have a 2700RTX next gen. I'm saying the minimum requirements will go up to match exactly what will be in these consoles for most major releases in 2021. If you want to play those games in 720p at the lowest settings, then fine. But after all the talk about 120FPS, 4k resolution on triple monitors, it doesn't sound like that is a viable option.

I don't think you understand what minimum requirement means, and also 120 fps at 4k isn't minimum, just putting that out there. :) 

It's what game publishers write on the back of the box. You honestly believe they would lock out a huge slice of potential customers just for fun and giggles? Like I said, they write it so customers don't cry in outrage about lackluster porting and demand refunds if their game runs like donkey poo on anything below the minimum requirements.

Funny how you didn't reply to the rest, though, as I'm actually dying to know if you expect any leap from these next gen consoles at all? Also, please explain to me why anyone would want to buy the Scarlett when the Xbox One X already has a RX590? A gpu, you say is more than capable of running these next gen games.
