Topic	The entire world of PC gaming rigs is a big scam, right?
GBH713 02/20/24 9:45:19 AM #39:	Tyranthraxus posted... The argument here is that a PC suitable for casual tasks + gaming console comes out to be about the same price a gaming PC. Like you can spend 600 on a really fast casual PC and 400 on a gaming console or spend 1000 for one PC that does both. I think this is where it becomes not worth it for a lot of people. Do you need a $600 PC for non gaming tasks? Some people obviously will, but I wonder how many. I've bought a console this year for the first time in a while and use that for gaming (I don't play a huge number of games, so a few a year will do for me), and I don't know that I've turned my PC on in 2024. My smartphone is great for anything that would have been casual PC usage, and I've got a laptop from my employer for work. Outside of PC gamers, a lot of people I know have a laptop or tablet or just a smartphone. I think there just isn't a need for PCs for most people in the way that there was. --- GBH <cite>GBH713 posted [p:978942213] in The entire...
