This makes sense...if you play a ton of new games, using subscription services.

If you're not, then when is your $2k gaming PC ever going to pay itself off? It's just pricey, and that's ok, but I think PC gaming enthusiasts get a little weird about this topic.

I have a PS4 and a gaming PC. The gaming PC is absolutely more expensive, and even if I squint and try to add up the cost of the games on PC, by the time it ever ends up being less expensive off it'll be obsolete. I mean there's an entire market for second hand console games, for one thing...

There's a guy at my work who makes all of these arguments for how PC gaming is better/cheaper and he makes them very seriously. He has a $4k rig that he uses to play...rocket league.
I still play new games, just not usually at launch. Some companies I will support. I pre-ordered BG3 at full price on principle to support Larian Studios, and still havent played it yet.

Ive got a backlog literally in the hundreds, so Im in no hurry usually.

I would never pay for a subscription service for gaming. Thats the nickel and diming Im talking about.
