Somewhat divergent opinion from my personal experience. The scarcity caused by first cryptominers than the pandemic took a lot of joy out of the PC building experience for me. It stopped being the fun experience of optimizing to performance but instead was a rush to get a complete set, even if it were subpar. Eventually found a next gen console at a good price to wait things out and, damn if I don't love the monthy game pass. Miss the keyboard and mouse but getting used to the controller. Thinking of getting a Steam deck to clear my steam backlog and take a step back into PC Gaming. Though really enjoying this monthly pass and haven't felt the urge.
