Its both that (well, I could swing for more expensive PC if I truly wanted to, but I genuinely do not want to. I rather put that kind of money into a nice TV, which I did. That and car maintenance, lol), and "doing far more than what any consoles can do" is pretty irrelevant to the vast majority of gamers out there.....at the end of the day, its as simple as just wanting to play the newest releases. Its the reason we still have so many PS4 and xbox one gamers out there since PS4 ports of the newest games still have yet to truly dry up yet. *Its getting there bit by bit with newer games not being released on previous gen consoles, but godspeed to those hanging on to that PS4 or xbox one for 11 years now.*

I have a PC that is decent enough with playing video games myself, but I honestly haven't bothered with modding anything in years at this point. I do occasionally fire up a emulator for some classic gaming, but the playtime for older games is nowhere near the amount I am playing more recent releases on the PS5 and switch.

*To tell you the truth, 95 percent of the time I'm on my PC like right now I am browsing the net and reading articles, posting here, playing crime videos while I am eating or having music playing in the background while I am on the TV doing something else. The other 5 is playing a indie game on steam. Thankfully these kind of games actually doesn't require much investment to run*

More power to the people who heavily invest in a gaming PC for sure, but for someone like me I'm completely satisfied buying my 1 or 2 gameboxes 500 something and using that for the next 6 or 7 years, gameboxes I know for sure will run every single game or rarely have to deal with shitty ports like the PC has to deal with at times. (I have a series X thanks to my bro hooking me up with it, but since I have it it'll be the thing I'll use whenever that once in a blue moon xbox console exclusive game pops up). My older PC and steam deck are nice options to have to catch those steam games that isn't ported anywhere else, and I am completely satisfied leaving it at that.

Yeah. I like steam, but my switch and whichever other system (probably PS-whatever) is usually good enough. And most indie games, I usually want to play on Switch, anyway

And when my laptop was in good working condition, I was usually doing something other than gaming (usually YouTube or whatever) While a good gaming PC or laptop might be useful, its not needed Especially with the cost
