Sure once in a great while

i've probably had an issue 1-2/a month. The only time it's "once in a great while" is if you just play the same 5 games for years on years. And the older the game is, the more likely you'll have issues. To replay tie fighter prior to squadrons i needed to download a 3rd party tool to get my flight stick to work with it.

Star wars squadrons just launched with hotas issues that you had to wait for a patch for or use various 3rd party tools to get around. FF7 was a nightmare to get working with an X1 controller. DW8:XL took downloading some mods to get the controller working there and having the correct prompts. Forza Horizon 3 will crash to desktop when selecting cars.

Then you get the launchers into launchers, like Microsoft flight sim where you download 80gbs to be met with another 80 gb patch that's common on most MMOs, that's not a "problem" just a needless annoyance.

And all of that before getting into modding issues (which is where most of the rest of the issues i've encountered), which is a major perk of PC gaming. PC gamers have this really weird issue with admitting consoles are easier. Because they want to portray this black and white world. You are vastly more likely to run into issues on pc gaming then console, but this triggers pc gamers so much. PC brings more options, more options brings more problems, more problems brings more solutions to those problems.

Sometimes you just want shit to work and consoles are going to fit that better.
