I remember the days I was in highschool. I didn't have much money since my parents wanted me to be frugal. So I didn't really buy pc components, consoles or games at launch apart from a very few selection. I was always like "When I grow up, I am gonna have money and buy all that stuff at launch so I can enjoy them day 1!"
Well now I am grown up. I have money. I bought a 4090 PC, PS5 and Series X at launch. I sold my series X basically within the first year cause I was bored of it but I wasn't the target audience anyway. My PS5 barely got used outside of like Final Fantasy. And my PC, well it gets used everyday but the games are just meh. Once in a while I play great games like Guardians of the Galaxy or Cyberpunk that really ends up being a great experience. But most of the time, it's "Lets play this esports title with my friends like overwatch 2" cause there's basically nothing else to play that interests me.
There are games that I am looking forward to but man, they take forever to come out. And when they do, most of the time they launch with problems and need to wait 2-3 months before they get their shit fixed and that's not exclusive to PC either as console versions have their own sets of issues... Like FFXVI launching with forced motion blur + 720p + FSR 1.0. Then you have to increased prices for games too and it's like, oh cool, games are more expensive than ever, they take forever to come out and yet they launch at a broken or unoptimized state. Like wtf.
