I don't know if kid saving lunch money to build a computer is a viable route anymore
Console while cheaper entry, they fuck you on the game price. Plus fucking annual sub cost.
They are acting like this because median gamer is now a middle aged cuck with a higher income, why shoildnt they be fleecing us as that is what the market can bare. Nowever, they priced out kids and young folks. Nvidia lost its fucking mind with that pricing
Tariffs are just an icing on the cake, they will try to justify even more price gouging
I see your point, however I bought a $150 GPU in spring 2020 that is still serving me fine today to play games at 1080P. At least until the tariffs it was still pretty doable if you didn’t go for top of the line brand new equipment.
Ohh I deff agree, I am riding my shit until it no longer works.
Fuck these parasites, I can do this long time if it keeps working.
That's easiest way people can fight back right now... Use what you have!
On with my Intel Celeron! Long live game optimization!
You prolly hitting some limits on that one mate haha
Anything is an upgrade, check out the used market
