  • Mods
  • fan patches
  • backwards compatibility stretching back ~50 years
  • indie games aren’t always on consoles
  • fewer subscription fees
  • hardware can be cheaper over time depending on details
  • games, especially older games, can go on sale for deep discounts
  • piracy
  • can avoid supporting megacorps like Microsoft and Sony

  Just off the top of my head

    • Can do stuff that isn’t just for gaming or content consumption

    But blockbusters always seem to have performance issues.

    I have my series X for those major releases and my ROG Ally for indies. Gaming has never been better for me.

      Yes, “performance issues” like, “I’m trying to run this on max settings with an $800 rig I got for cchristmas!”

      So, you’re right… for the people who are too dumb/tech unsavvy to understand what graphics settings are.

        I’m assuming PC gamers generally understand the required specs. If that is not the case, then that explains why every single AAA release has the same complaint without fail.

  Even Cyberpunk 2077 ran perfectly on launch,

  Liar.

    Seriously… I’ve never had any other game crash on PS5 so much that it stopped popping up to ask if I wanted to send a crash report. It was still fun and I couldn’t stop playing it, but it crashed every half hour.

    I don’t believe for a second that it was magically perfect on Xbox.

    It more or less did on the Series X. A lot of the clips people posted showing the really bad performance and bugs were from the original 2014 Xbox One or the Series S. On the Series X, it performed very well and I think I had it crash only twice in a 70 hour playthrough, in my own experience playing 2077 on my own Series X.

    On the Series X? Absolutely it did. I had some glitches with objects floating in cutscenes and that one cyber implant that didn’t work. Put 90 hours in.

  Cp2077 ran fine on my PC at launch.

    It ran well on all the new consoles and the newer hardware at the time. The game was simply badly optimized for older hardware which most people had at the time because there was a hardware shortage

  Why do people bother with PC gaming again?

  Because one bad product doesn’t define the whole platform, don’t you think?

    Except Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t even a bad product

    But at least on PC you can install mods to make it even bettet
