Digital content has solidified its dominance in media consumption and convenience. While this is great , a crucial thing these big corporations leave out is that even though you pay for it, you don’t own it.

The recent news of price increases in the console space has left some gamers looking for an alternative. PC gaming is notorious for its price, but the price hike of Sony’s online services should make gamers reconsider. A $500 console, paying a yearly fee of $60-$80, and also buying a few games for $70 each puts you pretty close to the price of a gaming PC. Gamers switching to PC gaming will reignite the age-old debate of whether gaming desktops or gaming laptops are better. While many people choose laptops for convenience, a desktop is a better choice in most cases due to its performance, upgradeability, and cost.

Can we even say the PS5 is being used to its full potential when some developers like Ubisoft are still catering to the base PS4?

For the readers who don’t know the Steam Deck is a portable gaming system with support for PC games. The starting price of $399 is relatively cheap compared to most gaming PCs. To the surprise of many, a 7” 1280×800 handheld might just be the best gateway to PC gaming. While this handheld is still priced $50 higher than the Switch OLED it is well worth it due to its higher resolution display, performance, and customizability.
