PC gaming is fine, outside of shitty ports that have more to do with publishers rushing to launch its games before they're ready.

PC ports these days do feel a lot more like the jank of the 2000s rather than the good ones we got in the 2010s.

Honestly, last decade was sort of the golden age of PC gaming IMO. Consoles were comparatively underpowered, ports worked well, didn't take too much HDD space, could be, ahem, alternatively acquired if you wanted to, hardware was affordable with Core i5s carrying most builds...

I agree with you.

The 2000s, with the jump from consoles to HD, saw developers and publishers running around trying to find out what to do and how to develop or use engines that could take advantage of the new possibilities. During the 10s, it felt like everyone had found its place and things improved quite a lot, but something has happened recently (the pandemic, like the UE problems with stutters, surely played a role in that, but it doesn't explain it all) that has brought us back to the bad times.

Let's hope it's just a short parenthesis and games go back to be properly made and tested before launch.
