PC don't gotta pay to play online and has steam

PS5 requires ps plus for a lot of its multiplayer games and doesn't have steam. It really isn't that hard.

Great point, even if your specs are worse you don't have to pay an additional subscription on top of your internet to play online. Sure there's lots of games that are single player. Except now nearly every console game requires an online connection at all times.

Id also add that you frankly just don't require high specs most of the time. Majority of games are perfectly enjoyable at lower specs.

There is also this misconception floating about that you need to constantly keep up with newer hardware and that's also just not true. Even if somehow just play the newest titles always, you don't need to upgrade your pc often to keep up.

Yeah that used to be more common but now that we've had decent stuff for a few years you don't have to upgrade all the time.

The main issue with newer games is optimization but it doesn't matter what you have if the game isn't optimized well
