There are both pros and cons to either, PC gaming for starters is expensive considering today’s economic landscape considering handheld PC’s a cheaper alternative. Console gaming (Switch, XBOX, PS) cost less than a full desktop PC (let alone a gaming laptop), there are consoles for indoor use only (PS5) and portable / hybrid (like the Switch). Each format has exclusive titles.

    so if i don’t want to spend 2 hours installing custom drivers to play a game I lack skill?

    I think you mean patience. 2 hours installing custom driver is 2 hours I am not playing the game. I don’t know about you, but I have better shit to do with those 2 hours and many other interests besides configuring a computer I’d rather spend those 2 hours on.

        No, there isn’t.

        But keep telling me how my experience is wrong. And PC gaming is supposedly this flawless experience.

        Even though I recently helped two other people setup gaming PCs and they constantly have headaches or have entire games they can’t play due to technical issues or have to wait months for a patch before a game can be played. Or they want to play old games and they just don’t work without hours of custom work to get them to load.
