    They are used to playstation players who buy a console for twice the price it’s worth through discord bots. I don’t think they even know what a backlash is

      Nowadays a console is just a locked down, less expensive pc. I think buying the components of a ps5 and assembling the pc is more expensive than just buying a console and liberating it, which is what I would do if I was to ever buy one.

        which is why the steam deck was such a breath of fresh air, it’s what consoles SHOULD be.

        A computer built primarily for gaming, sold at a reasonable price, that merrily lets you switch to desktop mode and launch excel for some office work if you want to.
