    I built my current pc a couple years ago and have only had to open it for some minor upgrades (new ssd) and cleaning.

    For many that is even too much, then add to that all the software issues, fiddling with settings, etc etc. Consoles are and will be for a long time the simpler and quicker way to play. (For most “normal” people)

      You have to clean your consoles too, dust doesn’t discriminate

      Also, upgrading your SSD isn’t mandatory, BUT you can do it if you want

        It’s not laziness; it’s time. I’ve got three kids and a full time job. If I sit down to play a game and I’m spending that time fiddling with drivers or trying to figure out why the video isn’t displaying on my tv, then I don’t get to play a game.

        I swear, PC snobs are worse than recipe writers about underestimating prep time.

        Especially when the price of consoles are matching PCs. The price of being that lazy is too high, and that’s not even factoring the advantages of everything you get out of a PC.

          Some of us have lives beyond work and gaming that requires our time and money.
