gaming is just too expensive now
>>743364052It's to force cloudgaming onto people.Even Windows doesn't allow you to update unless you meet specific hardware requirements.What can we do to stop evil from totalling controlling/enslaving us?
>>743364052Is it? Very easy to build a collection of hundreds of games across gog, steam, epic from freebies and sales. Many cheap retro handhelds or a PSP for under $100. Just don't buy the latest poorly optimised AAA slop that is designed to force you to buy more hardware
>>743364197>What can we do to stop evil from totalling controlling/enslaving us?Stop voting for retards
>>743364197Usecase for avoiding enslavement? How does this help shareholder value?
>>743364478>ok goyim here are your two options: a retard or a retard! the power of democracy is in your hands!
>>743364052its literally free if you already have a PC or a phone
I only buy 2nd hand hardware. I haven't bought a game in decades, it must be cracked or f2p or it isn't on my radar. Basically what I'm saying is, gayming is cheap.
>>743364052Fortunately, there's an alternative.
>>743364539slaves can't spend money
>>743364552I'm waiting for your revolutionary idea to fix the system
>>743364052Gaming should be expensive.
>>743364715Nuke america. But seriously I have no idea how you'd unfuck America's politics, a starting point would be introducing a single transferrable vote system so new parties stand a chance at existing, but there'd be so much fucking kvetching from both established parties over the mere suggestion it'd never go through
>>743364097She’s cute
>>743364579>it’s free if you have a [$1500+] device
>>743364052>Coworker wants to get back into gaming again after 10 years of not touching it>Asks me since I'm the "gaming" guy at work>Ask him what he wants to play>"IDK, what I used to play I guess? Maybe something newer?">Ask him if he gives a single shit about GTA 6 or any other new title>"Not really">Ask him for a budget>"I don't want to spend more than like 600 bucks upfront for any of this stuff, I just want to try it out">Tell him that he's just going to regret not actually putting in any research into the topic but whatever, I'll find something for him>Dude used to play exclusively on Xbox 360/One and mostly just CoD, Fifa, Battlefield and Forza>Find an old office PC with 16 gigs of DDR4 ram, a SATA 512gig SSD and an i7-9700 in it for 230 bucks with a wireless mouse+keyboard combo included>Find a lightly abused RX 7800 XT for 320>He gives me 600 for sourcing and putting it all together for him>Shove a pirated copy of W10 on it>I spend an afternoon just dumping some gems from my EMU library and a few older pirated PC games on it>Spend a few hours trying to set everything up to be as retard proof as possible by using Steam Big Picture as a hub for everything including setting up a Steam account for him>Gave it to him a month ago and he has been more than happy with it so far after I got his old Xbox controller working on itGaming can be fairly cheap if you just avoid the cutting edge, what I made for him is on the mid-range side but you can easily find other old Office PCs that can play old games and simple indie games right out of the box and that can have pretty much any graphics card from the last 10 years thrown into it for cheap, hell, if you don't give a shit about new games at all then you can just buy one of those cheap(er) chink emulation portables for 100-400 bucks and you can play everything up to simple PC indie games/ps3 games on them as well.
>>743364478>votinglmao
is not expensive, you can literally have more games that you will ever play in your life with just a normal computer + the Internetsome people are just allergic to anything that isn't a centralized store
>>743368985that's awesome Imagine being that guy and getting something so cool from youyou are a based effort poster irl
>>743364052*unzips rom folder>8gb ram, integrated graphics, middling processor>linux (free, runs well on weaker hardware)Yep, it's gaming time>>743368985This is very cool
Never mind games>Bought a large bag of rice>Some fish>Some chicken>Some bananas>Some sriracha sauce>$60That used to be fucking two weeks worth of food.
>>743364097yo i'm a 4channer!would
>>743364097fuck this bitch
The vast majority of all games ever made can run on a cheap computer.
>>743364052I'm still stuck on last gen/xboneThere's several next-gen only games I want to play now. Also Cyberpunk 2077, but I know that has horrendous performance on last gen, so I refuse to touch it until I upgrade.Although I'm glad I got to play Mount and Blade Bannerlord. It had bad performance, but so did Warband, so I'm used to it. Also I wish the Total War games would come to console.
>>743364052Brazilians have electric powers because they shower in electricity every day and develop resistance.
>>743373106I second this. Literally a refurbished office computer can run nearly all older at a stable 60 FPS

It could be twice the price and I wouldn't care.The issue isn't the cost it's the fucking games being shit.
>>74336685695% of people need a PC for regular life anyway these days. Might as well double it up as your gaming station

>>743378795Look at the dates on those posts you're mentioning you dumb cuck. Notice how they're all from 2020 while the thread itself is from 2018? Do you seriously think any thread on 4chan would stay up for 2 fucking years straight?

>>743380272To avoid flooding /b/ with good threads.
>>743364052You don't have to play the latest 4k upscale slop. You can play most games on a shitty ddr3 pc with a GTX 1060.

>>743364052>you don't understand, I need to play the newest AAA slop on 4k 144fps with path tracing I think that's the good kind of retardation, because it's the kind that punishes itself.
>>743364197>no, it's not because they are building quadrillions of data centers for AI which all need parts>it's all fake to make you sign up to something You're retarded. You buying, maintaining and powering your own machine is way better for the average company than them having to do that for you.
>>743375098Go and find a way to make those things cheaper and enjoy being rich.
>>743384434Printed too much money during the coof and the amount of value "we" spend on keeping the dream that importing the 3rd world is a good idea alive.
