This video pretty much sums up the reason why I switched to PC from PS4, and am not getting a PS5. Sure, playing digital versions of games on PC sucks, but what's the point of getting a big physical PS5/Series collection if these consoles are designed poorly, and will die in the next ten years? At least with my PC I can fix it myself.

I've preferred PC for gaming for a long time already, but it has become increasingly clear how longevity is not really something that is valued on consoles. Nintendo has handled this poorly for a really long time, and while Sony did pretty well in this regard for a good while, Sony's direction has been simply awful. Surprisingly, Microsoft is handling this the best. Still, only PC seems like a fairly safe bet in this regard, and the situation on consoles has participated in my PC focus, and this is coming from someone who has owned a (home) console each generation starting from the first PlayStation. PC is not without its problems either, but this particular issue practically does not exist on PC.

This seems like a PC-centric post in a thread about consoles, but it's because this seems like the proper thread to voice my unhappiness about the issue. I have an issue with this, and PC happens to be the best solution I've found to this problem. It doesn't fix this particular issue but it helps me minimize the effect of similar events in the long run.
