A trend I've noticed, especially with the PS5:
1) Games are expensive
2) Games are digital, so you can no longer play it then sell it on Craigslist.
I'm a member of the glorious PCGMR.
1. Games have never been so cheap. I mean I picked up Stalker2, Schedule 1 and Aviassembly off the steam sales for £50. Might go back for Space Marine 2.
2. Games have been digital for ages. The fact the PC doesn't depend on a healthy used game market to sell new games is one of the reasons they're cheaper.
It's just that consoles are becoming expensive, or more accurately, console users are now figuring out they're expensive. Consoles have always been expensive but hidden it in a lower up front cost for the console. With the latest PS release being more expensive than an entry level gaming laptop and games are more expensive and you have to pay for online services and you're locked in... It seems to be dawning on people that console gaming isn't cheap.
PC gaming is the opposite, expensive cost of entry but it's all savings from there on in. Especially if your patient, more games, more stores to choose from, things go on sale sooner and more often, a thriving indie scene (Aviassembly mentioned earlier is a small game made by one guy, a Dutch guy I believe), no pay to play online. This is all before the benefits like mods, being able to update games in the background, better peripherals, graphics, so on and so forth.
Even console exclusives aren't exclusive any more given how many are now on PC. I knew the foray into trying to make PC games exclusive would end in tears (and it ended years ago, everyone figured out that exclusivity only prevents you from selling copies) but I didn't expect it to end console exclusivity, they've got you by the short and curlies and they know it.
