    Well, you still need something to play it on. And since GPUs and RAM costs about a child and a half these days, I’d say it’s quite expensive.

      Sure, though you don’t need a state of the art PC to play 90% of the games ever made. These days I play a lot of my games on an old 3DS (hacked to the gills)!

      I also have a huge steam library of games, many of which I bought for next to nothing in huge bundles during past sales. Many of them I still haven’t played! They would run fine on a 10 year old PC though.

        Gross!

        AI nonsense makes owning your own computer too expensive and your solution is to reward the same assholes by paying a subscription to use their hardware with bonus lag? Have you no shame?

        Short term it’s cheaper, but to an enthusiast the lag, and the lack of ownership really rankles.
