    Gaming is just going to become a hobby for the rich at this rate.

    Well in global terms, PC gaming pretty much has been that since forever.

    There is no way we can keep up with this.

    Reject the AAA slop and you’ll be good. It’s not like anything good comes from them anyway and all their “innovation” is just fancier graphics and physics without any real gameplay, content or story, mainly to justify the overpriced next gen Nvidia card.

      unfortunately even indie games often require at least midrange hardware, like external graphics cards.

      i had to refund peak because it doesn’t run well on my computer, which only has intel integrated graphics, even at the lowest graphical settings…

      This is all true.

      I enjoy indie games mostly these days anyways and my game log is gigantic. I can hold out for a long long time.

      Just depressing to watch these kinds of prices.
