Your last sentence clearly shows you are not a pc gamer which is fine but you cannot use a persons opinion who is not a pc gamer about .. pc gamers.

Lots of PC gamers are very happy with "slightly better than Steam Deck" levels of performance.

  Yo! I tolerate relatively poor performance out of my laptop (a several year old model with a Ryzen and iGPU) while having a fairly kickass home desktop[0]. So chalk me in that group. [0]Which currently sees me playing a whole bunch of Rule the Waves 3..... poor underutilized 3080.

    Don't worry, the 3080 Ti in my Kickass Desktop(tm) also spends most of its gaming time playing Princess Connect! Re:Dive and Uma Musume. :V

      These are some awesome games with low hardware requirements. Let's also add Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail to the list.

        Hit the bricks, weaboos. This is strictly a Rimworld and Everspace rig now, sanctioned by yours truly.

        >weaboos Based in Tokyo, actually. I hope you're not flying anything you cannot afford to lose in Eve Online.

        I'm more of a sim fan, and my wallet thanks me for it. I do still feel profoundly bad for my friends who grew into playing Star Citizen though... hope they're making smart financial decisions in the new year (lmao)

        Train Simulator, Train Sim World 4 and Trainz all seem to be resource-hungry. So does x-plane. Of course, Rimworld, Prison Architect and such are fortunately lightweight.

        > Rimworld ... fortunately lightweight. That depends entirely upon how deep into the modding rabbit hole you go. <Typed on my iPhone while Rimworld loads through a couple hundred mods>

        I can rest easy knowing my spacewhaling on Fate Grand Order is still a better use of entertainment monies than Star Citizen. ...Probably. :V

        In a relativistic sense, spending money on fake space insurance and gacha pulls is better than an alcohol addiction or a hospital bill. In a pragmatic sense, the opportunity cost of investing in space travel simulation and softcore catgirl pornography is the progress towards real world space travel and actual catgirls. When humanity eventually collapses in on itself due to resource exhaustion or outright hubris, our heavenly benefactors will zoom into our tech tree and say "Damn! They were just about to unlock interstellar travel and goodwill towards all mankind. What the hell were they speccing into earlier?"

        The only reason I didn't list Fate/Grand Order (Japan) is because there is no Windows client. This also means most of my gaming time and money spent is, in fact, not on Windows but on Android. :V

        Similarly about the idolm@ster.

PC gamer as a Reddit stereotypical le gaming masterrace? Because most gamers I know don’t give a shit about this stuff. They care about games.
