I apologize PC brothers: Pc games is much cheaper than consoles in the long run.

no, let the purge begin.

consoles are basically the walkers of video game hardware.

I don't want to call people idiots and handicapped for using consoles. I want PCs to be easier and better than consoles.

Just grabbed the latest Humble Choice and sold the keys I didn’t want.
So I’m left with Atlas Fallen, Crime City, The Invincible, Inkulinati, and one other game for $4 out of pocket.

That’s on top of all the free GoG games I received from Prime yesterday which included Dredge and Bounty Hunter.

That’s on top of getting Brotato for free on Thanksgiving.

And I still bought V Rising for $13, because why not?

Drowning in games for very little money. And they’re not rentals that depend on a paid sub, like on consoles.

If you're gonna subscribe to anything, try Humble Bundle. 12 dollars a month, download up to 9 games each month. Usually one AAA game along with a bunch of indies. You also get access to a lot of different software suites that are slightly outdated but nonetheless function. Pay what you want for software that may have cost hundreds of dollars when it was brand new. And you're supporting charity.

Thank me later.

we literally don't have to. steam deck is already doing it. steamOS will keep getting better and run on more devices. maybe at some point MS will make an effort to improve their side too.
SteamOS is not doing things easier than consoles, even less when you need to use stuff outside Steam.

I agree it's not easier and I want to to get better. Talking about "stuff outside steam" is kind of irrelevant since there's no concept of "outside Playstation" on a PlayStation.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
Looking at the console people making claims when:

Most of them use Game Pass, PS+ or PS+ essentials and the minute they stop paying for it their whole library goes away.

The fact that you have the option to be outside Steam is very relevant to PC gaming, no matter what console does or not, plus there is some jailbroken Playstations.
 
Not sure if it's been shared but, humble bundle has probably one of the best bundles I have ever seen [ System Shock Remake, Dark Forces Remaster, Crysis Trilogy, Prey 2017, and Doom 2016 ] for $19.

this is one of the unique things that's immeasurably better on pc than console. however it's exposed is a step ahead. tools like Heroic and NonSteamLaunchers are making it easier to run non-steam apps on SteamOS systems.

bringing up jailbroken playstations is wild tbh

Writes a lot, says very little
I've got DS trilogy package (beautiful boxes) for 39 euro few years ago brand new. It's a full out package with all the dlcs.
I also have these game son steam too btw

That was a good ass deal!

I might look it up to buy it as I've been meaning to play the Dark Souls remake!

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
You dont get a new game for 12 bucks. I can buy a new one, play it, and if it doesnt have replay value, easily resell it for like 10 Euros less. Not possible on Pc.

You lose your ownership when you resell them, not to mention having to eat loss.
