Honestly I stopped playing video games a few years back and picked it back up during the writes strike. Dropped like $4,000 on a 7800x3d/4090 build. Cancelled all my steaming services , HBO Netflix, all of em, and signed up for game pass instead. I'm done watching stuff on them, if a series comes out I really want to see I'll grab my wooden leg and eye patch from the back of th closet.
I commend you on taking your own entertainment in your hands, but I also find it ironic that you cancelled your streaming services which cost nowhere near 4 grand. If you drop 50 a month on subscriptions, it would take about 6.6 years to spend 4 grand, but it's much more complex than that and I totally think that a gaming setup is worth so much more than streaming so I get it.
If you're wondering why your comment is downvoted despite being a reasonable insight, it's because any remark in this community that even remotely contradicts a comment endorsing piracy is immediately treated to this hivemind behavior.
At the end of all those years, you still have a pc.
Correct, a nearly seven year old PC that you never actually played a game on. Except maybe Fortnite.
Lol I have like 600 games on my steam account and I've played the majority of them.... Idiots just jealous of someone having the money to drop 4k on a computer lol
My point here is that there are ongoing costs for purchasing more entertainment value and it's not a one-off expense. I am not jealous about how much you have spent on your computer—in fact I think it's great and hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. You have unfortunately completely misinterpreted the essence of what I have written in my comments.
