The one thing consoles have had for a long time over PC is physical disks. Fuck what I wouldnt do to have non-steam required disks. Btw I know itd be slow I dont care.
Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Consoles are completely redundant, you can get a better performing PC for the same price or get a PC with equivalent specs for a lower price
Consoles are just shit value, you can’t use them for anything other than what, gaming and TV? And their specs are worth less than just buying similar parts separately and putting them together. So why would I spend up to $500 on a shitty console just to play a new game because of artificial exclusives that will come to PC anyways?

I’m sure you could burn a digital game onto a CD/DVD, although I’m not sure there’s any benefit to doing that compared to just storing it on an HDD or SSD…

I didn’t know console games had subscription costs in ways the PC equivalents don’t. I’m a PC gamer myself, and wouldn’t buy a console precisely because it’s a unitasker. But the one task it does do well is couch gaming with a controller, and that’s not how I’d use a PC. Fair, if that’s someone’s thing, but I would just think a console was better for that usecase.

There’s not really anything that makes using your PC in the same way inconvenient, you can connect it to your TV and wirelessly connect controllers, even more conveniently. Although switching between games or using different apps while doing so means you’d have to have a m&kb beside you I think, so if you’re playing with friends it might be less convenient.
