Are the "PC Master Race" days over?

If money isn't an Issue, PC gaming will always be superior. Which is why I nowadays almost exclusively play on PC and on my shiny Steam Deck on the go. At the moment I only fire up my switch for my daily portion of Ring Fit Adventure, lol.

It used to be different. When I was younger and had about zero disposable income, I played on PlayStation and was happy for what I got. Now I have more money than I can spend so there really isn't any reason at all to get a PlayStation or Xbox. Especially since exclusive titles seem to become a thing of the past.

I'm the opposite. When I was younger I pirated a lot of games so PC was the way to go. One time investment, tons of games and plenty time to try everything out and find the best settings.

Nowadays I have plenty disposable income, $70 games don't bother me at all, yet my time is now the limiting factor. It's till easier / faster to turn a console game on than managing a PC game. I love FS2020 and wouldn't want to play that on Series X, but it takes a lot of time to get it started / updated, lot of time wasted on trouble shooting, managing cpu/gpu temps, updating mods etc.

So I simply fire up Series X or PS5 and am playing in under 30 seconds, not worrying about settings or whether drivers are up to date etc.

Plus I still prefer physical games, and for PC it's very hard to find those nowadays.
