This. Tried to get back to PC gaming for a while. I play on PS5 and XSX but damn, with the price of a performant GPU I can buy 3/4 PS5s or 1 PS5 and a lot of games for it.
You can emulate older games, get games for 1/4th of the price on second hand market and choose your store.
Paying 60$ for 5 year old games on my switch changed my view on console gaming.
Even if there’s a lot of room for games in the price difference between console and PC, I’d rather pay the higher fixed cost up front and then have cheaper and more games.
Maybe it’s just an ideological thing though and doesn’t make complete economical sense.
LOL. That's my very same reason. Got a Switch in 2021 and I was surprised Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (a game originally for Wii U) was still full price.
Zelda Breath of the Wild still costs 40$ or more where I am.
