After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

On the flipside, I’ve saved even more on PC. I regularly buy games for <$5, and those typically go for $20+ on any console. The games I want to play all work well, are incredibly cheap (especially w/ bundles on Fanatical or Humble Bundle), and still work when I upgrade my hardware.
The main downside is no physical media, but I’m way too lazy to actually sell my old games, and for the cost I pay, I’m really not worried about it.
My OS is also incredibly easy to maintain, I literally run updates and that’s it. Oh, and I use Linux, so I don’t even need to pay for the OS either. I regularly play games from the 90s, try that on your console.
Consoles absolutely have their place (I have a Switch as well), but for budget gaming, you really can’t beat PC.
