I wish I could get into PC gaming. The way games run is just amazing. Unfortunately it comes with it's own problems. The amount of time I've wasted troubleshooting issues on PC just isn't worth it. It doesn't happen often but on console it never happens. Xbox controller disconnecting randomly was the final straw for me. After that I shut it all down and sold off everything on Ebay.

PC gaming is great! Most will typically get a pre-built gaming PC to avoid the headaches of building your own. Which is fair. But for me, building a PC is half the fun. I know many that switched from console gaming to PC gaming, but opted to get pre-builts, and they really haven't had any issues. 

They might let their graphics driver get too out of date, but once updated, everything goes back to normal. 

PC gaming can be great when everything works. When it doesn't I lose my mind. My schedule is packed. I don't have all the time in the world to work on issues. So even having to troubleshoot something for 10 mins is a massive annoyance to me.

I work in IT also so building them can be fun but even that I just don't care about much anymore. I've built enough PCs in my life I'm kind of done with it. I remember one day I tried to go back and play Arkham City and the game just kept crashing on me. I took it personally and nothing I tried fixed it. Seemed to be an issue with Nvidia and the new GPUs/drivers. A complete windows reinstall resolve the whole issue and by the time I was done I didn't even want to play it anymore. Worst part is I updated all my drivers and everything again and when I tried it later, the game was getting the same error.

Wont even get into the hackers on Rainbow six siege. Literally having my rank score adjusted up and down every single day because of hackers. I'm not exaggerating when I say every single day. It sucks because R6 is way more fun on PC than consoles but the hacking kills that game on PC.
