Yeah, this and physical media collection are the biggest arguments for console ownership. But I do see this gap closing with designated operating systems for gaming hitting the market. Steam Deck and the new steam box are amplifying interest in this. I'm thinking eventually, other than Nintendo and their walled garden, the console landscape is going to shift to a more open ecosystem of prebuilt PC boxes marketed as plug-and-play, just as consoles. And the industry ruined physical media collection when they allowed game discs to just be an insertable download card. Point is, I think the wall for you and many other console players is shrinking, and quickly at that.
I am interested in the steam deck, bit the cost is to much for me.
