The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling' (www.pcgamer.com)

I've been a console gamer since the PS1. I've also gamed on computers for way longer than that. I just find the consoles easier, as it's plug and play, and no need to constantly upgrade my computer.

This has been a fact for me until now. Got the PS5 2 years after release, and had a fucking blast with it, while the computer I built 13 years ago is used for other stuff than gaming. It took it's last breath about two months ago.

I then got myself a brand new computer with a RTX4060ti, and I installed RDR2 to see how it compared to the PS4 version, and it blew my mind when I added mods (fucking hell, mods are easier to install today than 15-20 years ago lol). Then I bought Baldurs Gate 3.

The price of the PS5 Pro comes out more expensive than my computer. I'll continue playing some games on the PS5, but the pro can fuck off, and the PS6 will probably never come into my house, as I am done with consoles. I'd rather buy ANOTHER gaming computer and hook it up in the living room.
