Why are fanboys like this?
To be honest, I just hate how expensive gaming has become across the board. I still remember getting a brand new, top of the line, Playstation 3 slim with a 500GB internal hard drive and Blu ray drive, two controllers and two games, in 2012 (over 12 years ago) for around 450 USD, with import taxes and luxury taxes in South Africa. Now the lastest top of the line PlayStation 5 is going to cost over 1150USD here, with the disc drive being an optional add on, and only 2TB of storage and one controller. WTF how is a 250% price increase justifiable when you are literally getting less by comparison?
And I haven’t even started on the price of PC parts here, PC gaming rigs are the price of second hand cars in South Africa. A Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB of VRAM is over 500USD! A 14th Gen Intel i5 is over 350USD. Two new mid range components, and the price is already approaching 900USD. By the time you’re done buying everything, you’re looking at over 2000USD for that PC.
g*mers get the wall don’t @ me
Tech people have utterly lost connection with normal people, I think. An enthusiast who cares enough about Playstation to want a faster PS5 probably owns discs. Also the fact that they didn’t improve the CPU in any way, this thing is cooked.
When gamer shit gets too expensive people will just quit buying games and consoles, as they should. Anticommunist propaganda always used to say “and a car cost a month’s paycheque” well, a PS5 Pro costs like, a third to half of the north american minimum wage, I think?
At least with the PS4 Pro it slotted into what used to be the price of the PS4. I think the issue is the PS5 was incredibly overpriced but goofballs were desperate to get one anyway, so they got a big head about it. Also regarding the CPU, I guess they literally just want slightly better graphics lol
yeah man I’m so jealous I can’t play the next batch of recently-released-game: remastered
Imagine being fanboy over nothing lul
