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.
After 6.6 years of streaming, you will also own absolutely nothing.
Kinda like Game Pass?
after 6.6 years the hardware will be almost worthless too, if you plan to resell it to someone else
That machine he built will not be anything close to worthless after 6.6 years. I literally just last week moved my spare 1080 ti into a second gaming computer. It came out in 2017.
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.
It’s anything that challenges an attack on a corporation, imo. If you just point out that a fact they claim is incorrect, even if you ultimately agree, you’ll be attacked as a shill and down voted.
I didn’t downvote it, but I disagree with the overall sentiment that just streaming for 6.6 years has the same value as getting a high end computer. Granted, OP could have saved a lot of money by getting parts a bit less close to the top, but a PC is a tool that can do so much more than 6.6 years of streaming (including that 6.6 years of streaming).
That may be so, but then we are comparing apples and oranges: for $4000, OP can still not stream any content unless they pay more for the services, which sort of defeats the entire argument. After all, they haven’t bought any games yet.
Which brings us to the essence: this comment thread was never here to actually discuss gaming or streaming content. OP didn’t even attempt to shroud the fact that they will continue to enjoy everything as they please by pirating it all.
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.
Oh I figured it was down voted for anti gaming sentiment.
