Why PC Gaming SUCKS! Why PC gaming sucks? Check it out. I built my gaming PC. How much did that cost though? Yeah, it was like $6,000. For graphics that most people can't even tell the difference, which is why I use a PS5. A PS5? You know, it's cheap. Because it can't do anything besides gaming, right? Well firstly, because Sony has been skyrocketing the price to like $900. So secondly, I need it. What? Yeah. Just gaming? PS5 my MacBook for work. See, here's the thing with PCs, I can play games on it, then work on it. After like 5,000 and three configuring the benchmarking the perfect settings. Shut up. That's not true. Really? Boot up a game right now. Okay. I need the controller. Controller Undetected. Please reconnect your controller and try again. Oh, right, the controller glitches the game out. I'll just restart to... Oh, I'll just wait for the update to finish. Yeah. On a PS5, it's as easy as turning it on and playing the game. Yeah, it's a lower quality experience. Lower quality experience. Sometimes it's the only experience. Tell me, how you gonna play GTA 6? When it launches on PC, I guess on day 1. Not. Well, at least Sony's under hot water for completely cutting off physical media and no longer making game discs. PC cut them off ages ago. On top of that, speaking corporations, Microsoft is way worse than Sony. I guess we can both admit the state of gaming is kind of fucked right now. The one thing we can agree on.
