I commend you on taking your own entertainment in your hands, but I also find it ironic that you cancelled your streaming services which cost nowhere near 4 grand. If you drop 50 a month on subscriptions, it would take about 6.6 years to spend 4 grand, but it’s much more complex than that and I totally think that a gaming setup is worth so much more than streaming so I get it.
After 6.6 years of streaming, you will also own absolutely nothing.
Kinda like Game Pass?
I mean do you really own your steam games either? I have 600 of em so game pass is more for the games I don’t care about “owning” but at the end of the day steam could shut down on 5 years an poof there goes your games. Lol
after 6.6 years the hardware will be almost worthless too, if you plan to resell it to someone else
That machine he built will not be anything close to worthless after 6.6 years. I literally just last week moved my spare 1080 ti into a second gaming computer. It came out in 2017.
I’m getting a strong vibe that people are just jealous so they have to convince themselves it’s not worth it or stupid so they can feel better about not having it themselves.
You realize I didn’t build my PC because I stopped watching streaming I built my PC because I wanted to build a new one and get back into gaming. You realize this computer will last years before I need any sort of upgrade? Lmao I swear some people are just so insufferable with their “insights”. I stopped paying for streaming because it’s expensive and there was nothing to watch, now that the writers strike is over I don’t care because I spend my time gaming instead which I actually enjoy more.
It’s an insight because many people can’t drop thousands on top of the line gear. Yes streaming is expensive, but if a family has disposable income, odds are they’re going to go for the lower hanging fruit and just get the streaming package, because the alternative is saving for X months/years for parts that are going to be useful, yes, but also completely wipe out savings.
If you’re wondering why your comment is downvoted despite being a reasonable insight, it’s because any remark in this community that even remotely contradicts a comment endorsing piracy is immediately treated to this hivemind behavior.
It’s anything that challenges an attack on a corporation, imo. If you just point out that a fact they claim is incorrect, even if you ultimately agree, you’ll be attacked as a shill and down voted.
Oh I figured it was down voted for anti gaming sentiment.
At the end of all those years, you still have a pc.
Correct, a nearly seven year old PC that you never actually played a game on. Except maybe Fortnite.
Lol I have like 600 games on my steam account and I’ve played the majority of them… Idiots just jealous of someone having the money to drop 4k on a computer lol
My point here is that there are ongoing costs for purchasing more entertainment value and it’s not a one-off expense. I am not jealous about how much you have spent on your computer—in fact I think it’s great and hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. You have unfortunately completely misinterpreted the essence of what I have written in my comments.
