Maybe. A near-top of the line gaming rig (pre-chip shortage) would cost about $3kUSD and my last one is only just now starting to get weak from 2018, so it lasts you about 4-5 years. So as long as all your subscriptions and other costs come in less than ~$50USD per month, you’re probably saving money.
Edit to add: upgrading the graphics card nets another 2-3 years instead of replacing the entire machine. Which probably reduces the ceiling to closer to $40USD per month.
- sofixa 5y agoIf you have Stadia Premium ( not necessary, you can play the free version), GeForce Now, Microsoft Game pass ( which comes with XCloud gaming whatever), you're at <$40 (~$35 if my calculations are correct). There's also the advantage that you can start and stop them at will(per month), so for instance if you go on a vacation for a month and know you won't play at all you can cancel them all ( and even continue playing all the games you've bought on Stadia for free).
