I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.

    Yes but also you can play almost every game out there. Many exclusives for PC exist because that’s simply the platform the developer can afford. Xbox and playstation are expensive to release on and very gate keeping to what releases.

    PC is also the biggest game platform. No one has an exact count of games released for it. Additionally games I bought 20 years ago still work on my PC. I have a top of the line PC with all the bells and whistles. Windows 11 still lets you run games from decades ago without updates to the game because they focus on backwards compatibility. Even if it doesn’t work out of the gate there is windows compatibility mode that go back to XP built into the os.

    So all of that means I have 1000 games that I purchased on steam, my kids can play and I don’t need to do anything like pull out some archaic box that might have popped a cap or broken entirely. Or in the case of my nes, a format to hook up to TV’s that simply doesn’t exist or work without special equipment.
