The first and only console I bought was the original Wii. Games were expensive so I did not have many. I managed to install a few emulators and use it for older console emulation.

After some years they started pulling the plug on the online services. That's when I decided I would never buy another console again. I will not feed any more walled gardens. I have more games than I can play on my PC, a lot of them are DRM free.

So sounds like a public library check out.

And, not that anyone cares, I vow never to buy another game from them- at least at that price.

Retaliatory non consumption.

My ol' good Switch 1 will keep rocking my TV set until it breaks apart. I never asked for a Switch 2 anyway.

I have the Wii U version, and I don't plan to replay it... on any console.

Everybody RRRREEEEEEEEEE's about Nintendo, but Kingdom come deliverance II released at $90 for the base game and I fucking LOVE Kingdom come deliverance, I wasn't paying that shit. 2 months later, I got the gold edition or whatever for $80. (PS5) I am very happy with the purchase. Looking forward for the DLC lol.

I run a simple calculation in my mind, a movie costs~15$ and lasts for a few hours. If a game i'm buying has a good chance of beating that ratio, i'll buy it.
