I considered that, but then I got spooked away from doing so as I saw people mentioning something about taxes. I will admit I looked into mining for all of 5 minutes, so excuse me if that is BS nonsense.
Below is just my personal ranting about gaming PC:
I have few gaming PC in my life time.
The latest one is a 2070s with 3700x which I bought last year, i barely use it except playing survival games like rimworld, minecraft, subnautica, 7 days to die etc....
I owned Control on my gaming PC and PS5. Funny thing is I play control on my PS5 instead of my gaming PC although it can run more than 60fps with full ray tracing and DLSS enabled.
My several gaming PC had hardware failures but it never happens to my gaming console (except eject drive failure on my PS4 but i fixed it).
It always annoying for me to diagnose the errors and identify the reason causing all the issues on my gaming PC, i just fed up of it.
Furthermore, not every game runs stable at all on my gaming PC for some reason.
1) Fallout 4 always crash to desktop when I installed the unofficial patch on it alone, even on my new gaming PC, weird. Unable to find a solution for it as todate.
2) Control crash to desktop during loading randomly (uncommon but its annoying).
3) Alt tab does not work right for some games. So when I'm gaming I am unable do anything else.
And now my current gaming PC has some weird issue whereby the whole PC had serious slowdown randomly, no buzzing sound, no BSOD, video and audio just stutter and I am unable to run any program, including using task manager or even restart my PC.
Test with memtest86 and full SSD scan, no issue found. Still no idea what causing it. Perhaps its a CPU issue? i don't know, i just don't care anymore.
All gaming console does is just play games, which is also the reason why I prefer gaming on a console.
It simplistic, convenience, no hassle and nonsense except 30fps (which i'm fine with it)
I have my gaming PC on the left and my PS5 on the right, with two monitors I basically can do everything anyway
I see these comments a lot and I've been a "serious" PC gamer for 20 years this year and used to have all these kinds of problems myself. Bluescreens were super common, I needed regular backups because Windows would suddenly not boot because the boot manager got corrupted or whatever. And installing Windows was always a pain in the ass because something would refuse to work every time.Below is just my personal ranting about gaming PC:

Games never look as good as I expect. Combine that with performance never being as good as I think it will be, even when playing old games, and I just feel let down.
I'm thinking I may as well just stick just to console gaming, as it doesn't feel like it's worth the premium I paid for my computer (RTX 3080 and R9 5900X).
How many games have mods though? As is the case with Gamepass PC games, you can't even mod them at all AFAIK.

Too much early access clutterBy far the largest number of games, combined to all consoles put together. PC gets every game released except Nintendo first party, and Sony, but thats changing. PC has far more exclusive Indie and AA games coimpared to console. Your whole game history there for you to play anytime, and not held back by generations. The rez you want to play at, the framerate you want to play at, adjust settings for your preference. Mouse and Keyboard or controller support in the vast majority of games. Game prices that are sooo much cheaper than console, if you know where to look. Mod support, and mods can change a game and add so much vareity and extend a games life. The use of trainers and cheats compared to console where there are none.
PC is freedom., PC is life.
Mouse and keyboard for any game that involves shooting. I own a Switch, Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and I have REALLY tried to make the switch to consoles exclusively (just in hopes of separating my work tool from my leisure tool) but aiming with a controller makes me just not want to play at all. I've been PC gaming for nearly 25 years (console as well but mostly games like Mario or RE/SH and FF etc...) and since so many games now rely on aiming and or quick twitchy movement I have just been mostly gaming on PC despite owning every console (and beating many exclusives like Uncharted, Last of Us, Spider-Man etc...). I just turn the settings down to whatever is going to allow the game to run at 50+ FPS and move on.Games never look as good as I expect.

For the current cross gen games it's not.I'm thinking I may as well just stick just to console gaming, as it doesn't feel like it's worth the premium I paid for my computer (RTX 3080 and R9 5900X).

Spoken like a true MOD you should do politicswhen i first moved from console gaming back to PC gaming in 2013 a gtx 680 at 1080p and 60fps blew me away.
Now my rtx 3080 continues to blow me away at 144fps and 1440p.
Console gaming is great, but graphically PC gaming continues to blow it away. You need to pay a premium for that though, so I understand why console gaming continues to appeal to many people and dont get me wrong, console games look amazing as well.
Spoken like a true MOD you should do politics
*edit*For the current cross gen games it's not.
Money would be better spent(saved) on a XSX/PS5 combo.
Emulation is possible with XSX as well plus a person can add a raspberry pi or a Super Console X like box for emulation.Thankfully pc gaming isn't limited to whatever is also on console.
So that beefy CPU can actually be put to use with emulators like Dolphin etc.
ok its your money.Emulation is possible with XSX as well plus a person can add a raspberry pi or a Super Console X like box for emulation.
So XSX/PS5/Emulation box=a better cheaper combo
I also have a few Gaming PC's and find the games I can't get on consoles to be worse than the games I can't get on PC.ok its your money.
not like anyone needs a pc for awesome games not on console or anything...
