This is just wild. PlayStation wanted to end their partnership with Hideo Kojima. So Xbox was like: "Your loss."

This year is really starting to feel like an inverse of 2014 when Xbox ruined their public image with some insane Always Online DRM requirements and PlayStation capitalized on that.

Granted, Microsoft and Xbox are almost equally shit at the moment. It’s a real would you rather get slapped in the face or kicked in the nuts type situation. PC is definitely the favored platform but building one has unfortunately ballooned a lot in price.

The good thing about PC is that there's a huge performance range available in the form of both past and present games so that there's potentially something at most price ranges that can tide you through these tough times.

Also it can make someone look at what they really want to play. I couldn't really care about the next open world AAA game. They don't move me. But some weird pixel art or B rate boomer shooter. Ya il play it. And that means I don't really need top specs. Mid lvl parts will get be a good 8 years.

Just please don't review bomb companies if a title doesn't run well on your card.

My 1080ti is still going okay.

It's my i7-5700 that actually is the bottle kneck at the moment

That’s reassuring. I played Postal 4 and it was near impossible. But might be cpu bottlenecking me but rendering was intense in that game
