It has been a long time since I took a huge and ambitious leap in the gaming PC ecosystem, and has come with a lot of high and climb. As the game also plays on the console, especially Sony’s PS5, it was incredibly disappointing to go from a simple start-up and play design, then to deal with file tinkering and adjust other PC settings.
However, once I became addicted to it and also learned about the benefits of the platform, PC was especially PC multiplayer free (as it should be), it became my primary gaming station.
Unfortunately, this is not a case with console. Both Microsoft and Sony have introduced multiplayer subscription plans for a long time, passing the Xbox game and PS Plus respectively, which means console gamers Sure Either subscribe, in most cases, to play online games (except for Fortnite like free-to-play title).
Now you can read it and say, “Okay, it is like this for years, and it is normal, isn’t it?” Former is correct, yes, but the latter statement briefly explains the issue. Ever since this online paid membership model was introduced for console gaming, it is sad that gamers have been normalized and just on one side is something that is something that just Is to be done. So much that it is now at a point without a return, as it has become a standard for years.
Simply put, we all pay for an internet service to use all already in many devices, especially access to the Internet on PC. If I have a new online game, I am looking forward, I can easily buy it and dive the right dive on platforms such as steam, battle.net, or Epic Games Store. So if so, why exception with console?
This eventually makes me understand that PC gaming is a cheap expenditure in long -term vs. console. still with me? Okay, I explain why.
Gaming PC Hardware Console is more expensive than hardware, but does not cost game
While I have recently encouraged console gamers to stay away from PC, due to the ridiculous value inflation of the GPU, it still does not change this point; Gaming PC is more expensive than hardware console, yes, but In fact It is cheaper to be able to play games.
On PC, gamers have access to a variety of cheap games, either through online major marketplaces such as free release (prime gaming) or CD Keys of Epic Games Store, offer new games at much lower prices. I do not remember that last time I had to pay the full price for the same game, and its share involves some generous sales of steam.
Now, console games are available on major sites, and I say I say Very For Xbox console – but it is far from the same story for PlayStation Games. There are some games on major retailers, and if there, they are often old titles that appear months after launch.
What is bad that is barely in Sony’s playstation store Any Khadi sales, and old games also live at their original retail prices, even after years of launch. If you don’t believe me, take a good look God of war raganarokA 2022 game that is still $ 69.99,
Essentially, it can be forced to either pay (which may be $ 80) or to wait for a rare and seductive discount for a game, as the industry is notorious from physical copies. With at least physical copies, this will not be a big issue, as the prices will be different, and you cannot overcome any moment the game -but this privilege is slowly removing.
I held my RTX 3080 ti for 4 years, initially after purchasing it at £ 1,099 (equal $ 1,199), its original retail value, close to the end of my life cycle in 2021. upgrade.
My point is that it is expensive as a bundle while purchasing high-end hardware, it can last longer than the console generations without an upgrade, while the game is not expensive as those on the console, in particular, Sony’s playstation system. The thing is that, console PCs are crawling on pricing, at $ 699 with PS5 Pro.
PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass Multiplair Access is not ‘Ok’, it’s ridiculous
And yes, there is an elephant in the room, which is PS Plus and Xbox game pass. The cost of the pre -Aadhaar membership plan, known as ‘necessary’, is $ 59.99 per year, for a new standard version of a new one, only a few dollars are less than what you will pay. Duty Game at $ 69.99. You throw in the cost of service and sports, and you are paying $ 129.98.
It deteriorates with the ‘premium’ scheme that essentially mimics the Xbox game, but without a day’s title, and its cost is $ 119.99. Do you see where I am going with it?
I can vach for Microsoft’s game pass service, which provides a lot of new games day for both console and PC players, and it does not happen with PS Plus – and all honestly, its monthly game is lacking. This is not better, however, as you still need to pay for the game pass core to play online on the console.
However, PC players also do not need to rely on the game pass for the new game and may get cheap options. Cheap PC is very little reluctant when buying games, and I do not have the same feeling with my PS5; It has nothing to do with being “broken”, but instead to know what is worth buying and what is not.
If pricing is what prevents you from creating gaming PCs, just know that the first and biggest obstacle will be the pricing of hardware. After that, you should have the necessary conditions for those things that are on your way to do cheap gaming without any pawall.
