Because most of the best PC games that have been released in recent years are indie titles that easily could run on a 5+ year old rig at max settings. I guess if you’re playing strictly AAA stick with a console but IMO most of those games are overpriced unfinished forgettable mediocre etc.

Edit/PS I have a rig I spent roughly $1500 on in 2018 and it runs current AAA titles just fine. Not sure why anyone needs to be on the bleeding edge of performance or how the price of that increasing indicates the fall of PC gaming. Overall, bad take by the person I responded to.

No once a new game comes out it is ILLEGAL to even think about playing an older game. There is also no player base on any game that came out before last month. And worst of all there is no such thing as playing a video game to have fun you have to be competitive at the max level I’m talking 360 hz 8k gaming only so if you can’t afford it too damn bad.
