    Yeah, except all the parts to build even a midrange PC have become unaffordable.

    I am still on my GTX 1080 Ti (an EVGA FTW3 which I actually got on discount for $400 about a year after it launched) waiting for hardware I can actually afford that gives an upgrade worth spending the money for it. Nearly $1000 USD for even just a 70 series card isn’t worth it at all.

      I’ve never tried a game I couldn’t play on my Steam Deck, or even on the desktop I built a decade ago. I don’t really play brand-new games, but I’ve got so many unplayed classics that I don’t need new hardware.
