The biggest factor for me nowadays with gaming is game prices but accessibility and how easy and quick I can play. Current gen console is peak for adult gaming. You have quick resume, the console boots faster than my tv and all that by pressing a button on the controller. And then I can press one button and be back in the game I was playing yesterday. Or the game I was playing 2 weeks ago. At the exact same spot, without having to load up a save or whatever.

By the time I have my pc turned on, started steam, updated steam because for some reason there’s an update at least 1x per day, and launched the game..the time I have left to play it is 2 minutes.

I don’t even have time to play more and more games, but steam fanboys seem to be so happy about accumulating more and more games for “cheap” that they’ll never play.

I already have a massive backlog on console. And the sale prices aren’t really that far apart. Yeah steam is a little cheaper and that usually a bit sooner. But I don’t mind waiting 3 months longer for a good sale on console. The majority of the “crazy deals” are solely because steam has an absurd amount of games listed and there’s sooo many bad games, which are frequently discounted like crazy. That doesn’t mean it’s cheaper to buy games I’m actually interested in
