The PS5 killed console gaming for me. Scalpers selling it for 1200 bucks sealed the deal for me to get a PC.

The PS4 killed Xbox for me.

Are you from canada?

That would be a violation of the hiipa act. Your samples get sent anonymous to the Lab with only a case number. They only know the adress of the doctor.

If your doctor didn’t anonymise your sample and the lab used it to send you a bill, they’re in deep waters.

There’s enough toxicity in Rematch already. You can just spam “good job” instead.

What i’ve noticed subjectively is, that RL has become more mature and less toxic since the release of Rematch.

Maybe all the toxic kids are trying Rematch now and the old farts stayed.

You might be right, since his supposed russian code name is Krasnov

It’s their way of saying they try to blame the customer first.

It’s nl not ml

Swansea is too woke. It has a female lead role.

I have a friend that’s the same. She refuses ro play witcher 3 because you cant pick a female character.

I think it’s ridiculous.

Those are still a ripoff at 1€

You still had the choice between a cheaper pocket book and the bound version.

how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

One game has Denuvo, the other doesn’t.

If a book costs 80€ for a ten hour read, it’s a complete ripoff that nobody would buy.

You missed the link I posted, it’s PC sales. Why do you insist on your gut feeling when the data suggests otherwise?

Consoles have stagnated, PC sales has increased year over year and also PC gamers have increased year over year. If it would be because of covid, I would expect a Stagnation afterwards.

Possible, but the market grew after that as well, while consoles stagnated.

I got a PC in 2020 when PS5 was released for 1200€ at your scalper of choice. So the statistics reflect my own switch perfectly.

Yes, if PC sales wouldn’t be growing

Not ice the jump in 2020 when the PS5 released.

It’s a growing market though.

Xbox one and X/S sales are neck in neck with xbox 360 sales too.

PS4 was when xbox users switched over to PlayStation.

PS5 was when PS4 users users switched back to the roots, a PC.

I guess Nebula should be meantioned then?

It’s the only company that comes to mind that still offers something like that.

My wishlist is long and at least one game on it gets a deep discount every week. I’m busy playing games between 2€-20€.

There hasn’t been a major release that would justify paying 50€ and more for years.

Baldurs Gate 3 was the last game I got at full price and didn’t regret.
