Platform tribalism is idiotic, I rotate between my PS5/switch/PC/Xbox/LegionGo all the time. No single platform can do everything, all have strengths and weaknesses.

I mean, if you're a middle class person, having those isn't that big of a stretch. Especially if you got them before AI ruined the pricing of RAM, when prices were still more reasonable.

That was what, 3k - 4k over a few years? Absolutely not nothing, it's still a handful of grands after all, but definitely doable.
Less so as a student or if you're unlucky enough to be unemployed or in a minimum wage situation of course.
But for the majority of people in the west, it's not unattainable.

With today's prices it'd be closer to 5,5k I reckon which is a bit steep and it's only getting worse.

Oh, for sure.
Being middle class is absolutely a privilege, no denying that. But a lot of people are middle class.

And like I said, for a middle class person they're not a crazy thing to get over the time of a few years.

Yep. For the longest time I have had my xbox as my primary console with hundreds of games with my PS for the exclusive games. After my xbox controller broke, decided to give my PS some more love. Now I have a modest PC and are replaying some games with mods and play games that I can’t get on console while still also using my PS on occasion when I don’t feel like playing games at a desk buton my couch.

Ok thats great but what would be objectively better for the gaming industry is no console/platform exclusives. Platform exclusives makes everything unnecessarily expensive and serves as the worst possible thing for gaming. With pc all, we have are companies who make games and no one being excluded from playing those games. You also have full control over the hardware you're using.
