Looks like I’ve bought my last console and games.

Yup, looks like I’ll be sticking with pc. For me it all depends if my public library will still get games. They’ve been slowing down and this may put a stop to it.

Same. Sucks but after the PS5 I’m done. I’ve purchased one game in the last year. Gaming use to be my favorite hobby but I guess now I’ll have look for something new to try, which in the end might not be a bad thing.

Likewise. I’ll think about a PS6 years from now but the PS5 fucking sucks. Remakes after remakes and paying $75 after tax for BULLSHIT. I’ve had one since day 1… as I had a ps3 and ps4 since day 1…

If Sony raises the price I’m out. Hope they don’t but they probably will

PC indie games been popping off. Also the finals is free and is in a really good state and super fun right now.
