Financial concerns are separate from what I was discussing.

But they’re really not when we’re discussing the necessity of building a new PC or buying a new console every few years just so you could play the latest games.

If you’ve got the finances to do so, go right ahead and do it. But if you’re broke, like half of Lemmy seems to be, maybe skip on it and play older games that provide just as much entertainment value and look maybe 5% worse… You’ll be able to play the current newest games on mediocre new hardware in 5 years.
