PC Gaming is Slowly Destroying Itself

[tlrBeta]

Bought a nice 2nd hand amd 5950x / RTX 3090 system for a price I could live and not bothered with what’s coming out next or how much it costs.

Same thinking here.

Looking to build my sons first PC, mostly flight sim and some other bits...but used prices these days and the power they have is crazy.

I'm looking forward to the next year or so, my son might start playing games 4+ perhaps 5, I will gift him my 4080 desktop and that will pave the way for a new 6080 or something.

My hope is that the credibility of some “influencers” has been popped, as they are the biggest threats, by pedalling and promoting rubbish.
There’s still a wealth of great games out there

The PC gaming hardware industry is trying to destroy itself not PC gaming itself.

 

[P.B]

Wat. It’s grown year over year for 20 years. It’s the biggest it’s ever been right now.

This is what I thought ? To the old skool it's not the same granted but the amount of kids influenced by twitch streamers

HL3 is Valves ace in the hole, we wont hear of that until Valve is wobbling and needs to play its trump card and thats more than likely a long way off.

Wobbling? They earn billions per year just from Steam.

Which is why I said its a long way off (I didnt of course say they are wobbling now) Currently why should they make a HL3. No reason at all to make it, its a trump card to be played when needed and it will be a long time before they need it.
