    I don’t care about mods or FPS in the hundreds. I care that the games are discounted to a reasonable price, include all the content, and fully patched/ optimized.

      GOG/Steam sales is what you are looking for, or getting some good “personal backups” of games to run in an emulator. You can upscale and enhance them better than they ever were on original hardware.

      Also, we don’t have to pay for online, and never will :)

    Console players swing overwhelmingly toward the younger side. I don’t think kids without any semblance of understanding of what they’re missing out on feel like they’re missing out.

      Honestly I think this is just a good summary of console players. I’m not young, but I play console, and don’t think about PC… ever. I’m happy PC players found their niche, I’m happy with mine, let’s talk about the games we love!
