If there weren’t so many pathetic losers paying for this sort of crap, none of this would be happening.

But that would cost money and *gasp* empower users! What are you, some kind of communist?
That thing would be OK if it was reasonably priced. They don’t even pretend to be interested in anything other than squeezing money out of their customers. If there was meaningful competition in the sector, this wouldn’t be happening.
Anti-trans, anti-immigrant and pro white supremacy terrorism are still A-OK, though.
Those games are so expensive because people will pay those prices. There are plenty of cheap games to be had.
That would be handhelds. Mini PCs are desktop devices. They often use the same processors as handhelds and laptops, though.
While blaming anything and everything on “capitalism” is disingenuous, it really does have to do with a lack of competition in the space. None of the incumbents have any incentive to really put much effort into improving the performance of gaming GPUs. PC CPUs face a similar issue. They’re good enough for the vast majority of users. There is no sizable market that would justify spending huge amounts of money on developing new products. High end gaming PCs and media production workstations are niche products. The real money is made in data centre products.
That’s just nonsense. Maybe some 13 year olds with rich parents think like that.
You can build a pretty capable PC for about $600. And you won’t have to pay for multiplayer.
You don’t need a graphics card. You can get mini PCs with decent gaming performance for cheap these days.
The Steam Deck is basically a PC. You can get mini PCs with APUs of a similar performance for very low prices these days. That won’t perform like a current gen console but it’s a cheap gaming machine with a huge selection of low cost games and you won’t have to pay for multiplayer.
Consoles are just increasingly bad value for consumers compared to PCs.
Heresy! Get the torches and pitchforks!
That mixtape had some really cool tracks.
I wouldn’t rely on Germany to remain stable and democratic these days. The fascists are the strongest party and the new chancellor is an oligarchy stooge of the worst kind.
That gorilla is toast.
I’d actually bet they’re safer than some tweaked out dude on his 20th hour at the wheel.
Better late than never, I guess. I really don’t understand why this isn’t more of a thing.
Make a “pro” version that costs money.
Except they bought all the newspapers.
