last pc game i loaded was fallout 4 a few years ago. required like 2-3 hours to get it to run without crashing.

every old game i have from gog... all require custom mods to work. usually have to pull up a thread in the forums that has the solution and it' always some custom edit. otherwise the game crashes repeatedly.

my ps5 can play the same old games and they just... work. zero effort required. zero crashes. also looks a lot nicer on a 60" OLED than on a 24" LED.

I did this a while back. To be fair a “mini” ITX case is still relatively enormous, and I stopped upgrading it when graphics cards turned into magic beans for crypto-bros and got mega expensive.

that's too much work. i have to setup controller profiles. i have to update drivers. i have to custome mod drivers or game files to get them to run.

my playstation... just fucking works. zero effort required. download game, play game. everything is done for me. my time goes into actually playing the game.

baffles me that y'all can't see the mass appeal of that simplicity. not everyone is a linux nerd who wants to write custom drivers to play a game or load buggy emulators.

most peopel just want to play a game and enjoy it. not deal with endless bullshit.
