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.
- 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

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.

The settings targeted on PC typically far outstrip what consoles can do. I’m targeting modest settings that are still better than what a console can do in those blockbuster games, and it still runs better than on consoles. They just don’t scale as well as they should when you continue to crank the settings up.
