Consoles have always been appealing to me due to price and ease of use compared to PCs. It was the trade-off for having a locked-down system. But with the price gouging on both hardware and games nowadays, that advantage has gotten smaller and smaller. I suspect the PS5 was my last console and I’ll be getting lower end gaming PCs from here on out. Consoles just don’t make financial sense any more.
Oof, if you think the gouging is bad on consoles, wait till you look at GPU prices. I haven’t owned a console in almost a decade, but the price advantage is still on the console side.

Yeah, that’s why I said lower-end gaming PCs. The savings on games and online play is immense over time, especially when you factor in 🏴☠️.
