    New games are expensive and the all those UE5 games run like crap, cause I can’t afford high end hardware either. Of course I’ll just play old games.
    And thanks to AI hardware is getting even more expensive.

      Expensive and on top of that - there’s million different editions with different content and you get this long list of options and it just kills whatever interest you had in buying that thing because this is just obnoxious.

      Unity and Godot also run like crap for me.

      Whenever someone just uses SDL or something, I’m all over it.

      I was just about to invest in a high-end PC when the RAM prices started to go crazy. I’ll wait it out. My PS5 is gonna make it easier for me to wait.

          If they went by the same strategy as console manufacturers, that is, selling at a loss at start, they would kill off XBox and Nintendo and Playstation would also take a big hit

            They’re not going to sell at a loss. The upfront cost will be a lot higher than for a PS5

        Wait for a PS6 that Sony will sell at a loss due to earning it back on games and salvage that sweet sweet ram and GPU for a home made PC lol.
