Bah these articles are trash. I’ve got a 5 year old PC ands still playing games on high. For console, Switch games and even DS are still great portable and multiplayer options.
Gaming is cheaper than ever because we’ve got a massive backlog of great games that you’d never catch up on even if you did nothing but game all day. Plus stuff more than a few years old gets CHEAP!
I wouldn’t mind upgrading, but even if something dies I can buy a used replacement and keep going until this bubble pops.
Tell me you didn’t read the article whithout telling me you didn’t read the article. The point this article is making is that AI is driving up the cost of purchasing NEW components, and that this issue is affecting console makers as well as the PC market. Additionally, consoles that have been out for several years, (PS5 released in 2020,) haven’t dropped in price, since in theory, demand should be low by now, but instead the prices have risen since their original release date.
I updated my PC a year ago, because before that I was rocking DDR3 ram and a 12 year old processor and GTX1060. My old PC was struggling to render newer titles with high settings and was not win11 compatible.
Fuck the gamers that want to upgrade their rigs to play newer titles on high, or people that don’t already have a PC or console and are making their first purchase, DireTech already has a PC that can play titles and a backlog of games.
But if you aren’t running the newest Call of Warfare: Modern Creed 7 at 4k 144fps with a computer that costs almost as much as a used car, you can’t call yourself a real gamer!
