    The thing is I tried linux and I have issues. To the point Wayland gives me less headaches than xorg (and nvidia drivers still do not support wayland. Yeah, that bad)

    I had bad luck with my specific hardware configuration and linux

    Another issue is Microsoft and the end of Win10 support later next year (my hardware is not compatible with Win11, I can’t update). It’s the perfect storm

    Also my current GPU does not have DVI neither (I have a HDMI to DVI cable, so that’s not really a problem) it’s more about missing modern features (like freesync) and the whole pc being “limited” (not in the literal sense, I know monitors don’t cause bottlenecks) by the old screen
















  • It’s still less expensive than a PC hobby

    just with the sales and free online/cloudsaves PCs are cheaper in the long run

    And mods are an added value, we can even include fanmade patches that fix what developers don’t into that added value

    Consumers don’t have much say in what these companies do or how they operate.

    Yes, they do. Microsoft tried to incorporate Xbox live onto PC and it was a failure because PC consumers didn’t bought it

    The same goes with paid mods, Valve and Bethesda tried to make people buy mods and it was rejected by the consumer so the have to backtrack.

    Consumers have all the power in their wallet they decide what course the companies take. If a company does something that goes against your interests as consumer is as easy as stop giving them money, if you hurt them economically, they’ll have to go back to the business model that gave them profits (this works only if the average consumer is intelligent enough to protect their own interest/rights)
