  This is becoming my default position for so many things now it’s ridiculous.

  Maybe the Gabecube will launch with a “console price” after all.

  There’s literally enough in my PC backlog for the rest of my life probably, don’t need another new console, game or graphics card, ever.

    Seriously, anything after 2015 has perfect graphics, I don’t need slightly more realistic hair or whatever. Even a lot of 2010 is enjoyable. And this is only about graphics quality. For gameplay, story etc, you know shit actually matters, there already is way more than I can play.

    You…

    You think they care?

    They want people streaming games to phones/TVs and paying by the hour.

    Not subsidizing console sales anymore will make cloud gaming seem more attractive, and that’s where the most money is at

      Looking forward to indie developers who actually want their games to sell optimizing them for older, more reasonably priced hardware.

      Conspiracy theories are a trick by big Dumb to make people think less.

    Yeah, feels like the correct move here would be to hold off with the next generation, if you can’t get enough of a performance jump without increasing prices. Otherwise you’re just offering a premium edition.

  Well this may be the final push for me to stop getting new consoles and fully switch to my pc and steamdeck with a little bit of switch on the side

    Me, except at this point my PC will be a Steam Machine with Steam Deck, and Switch 2 on the side.
