minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up74·9 days agoModern consoles with digital games already blur the lines on console generations, but like, very few games are even using the PS5 to max. PC you can decide your own “generation”, and if you upgrade your PC, you don’t have to buy remakes, you just turn the settings up. Between that and locking yourself to one entity to buy games from, there’s a lot of downsides to consoles and not many upsides left.
