Wait, what’s got more game availability than a Windows PC?

Answer: A Windows PC + all of the consoles + all of the handhelds + both major mobile device brands.

It just depends on how much you’re willing to sell your soul… in order to amuse yourself.

I have a PS5, but Sony has begun releasing their most popular games on windows as well. I run it would be prudent to build a nice gaming PC, even if you shove it in a TV cabinet and connect a controller to it for couch gaming. If you’re patient like me, you not only get a better gaming experience, but a broader one.

Lmao yes but if you could only have one, a Windows PC has far more access in terms of video games.

So if a console came out next year that also exceeded Windows in the quantity of games, you which ditch your gaming PC and switch over to New Console™ in a heartbeat?

I’m hearing the word “emulation” floating on the air. That’s already PC + most consoles and even Android. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone out there has done something about emulating iOS but I’ve never taken enough interest to know.
