I really dislike their new DRM update even if its “testing the waters” , after being a fan for so long I’m set to completely drop them by the end of this year (yes I’m waiting for gta6).
I managed to convince my normie friends to switch with me to PC gaming by being their IT support 😂
Rough. I’m all for PC, but you’re about to find out how expensive PC gaming is with the “memory crisis”. I’ve been with Xbox myself for 20 years and my game library is so big I couldn’t imagine switching. My gaming PC was over 2500 a few years ago and it sits there collecting dust bc consoles are easier to fire up and play here and there. It was also easier to share licenses with games to play co-op with my kids. I’ll be ditching soon I feel cuz that falls to the wayside more and more, and GP keeps going up and up. No longer can i just pay $5/mo gold for online, its at least $10 for no good reason.
I guess I can’t blame you, of they do age / ID verification or whatever you wanna call it, I’ll probably ditch consoles too.
Surely memory prices hit consoles the same. Unless you specifically meant making the switch now is expensive.
I’ve been on PC for decades, I don’t think I’ve ever paid 2500, and never bought “bad” hardware.
The Steam Box releasing this year may very well be a great alternative for “easy setup” and “easy fire-up”. A PC with its open ecosystem, but a default OS that is much like consoles, a gaming platform frontend.
I’m willing to take a fat loss on memory if it means I’m leaving a predatory ecosystem.
also true on the gold subscription, ps plus is also going up and I’m not willing to tolerate it more
Your gonna find out it’s just as predatory.
