On PC I don’t have to rebuy games because Sony doesn’t believe in backwards compatibility.

TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoi’ve never had to spend hours finding the ‘right driver’ for my PS4 to run a game. or having to mod the game to get it to just play.
which is why i gave up on PC gaming, I’m old and I just want to play games, I don’t wnat to spend 2-3 hours ‘troubleshooting’ every game on my PC and having to swap drivers because some games only run on some drivers.

Funny, I’ve never had to.do.those things on my PC.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
cool. I am not you. I have to do it basically every time i want to PC game, and always have.
even my nephews have to do it frequently and they just bought new gaming PCs that are a few months old.

Yeah you should probably stick with consoles then.

Two of us.
And we’re on Linux even. It has its own share of issues. Generally, if a problem is game-specific, the fixes are stuff like “switch Proton versions” (there’s a little dropdown in Steam or whatever launcher you use) or “toss some environment variable in the launch options”. But those are really a thing of the past now, stuff just works.
And it never took installing drivers for a specific game (…huh?). Installing drivers is a thing you do once, if that, during initial setup, just like you’d do account creation for a console.
