I just don't get how people spend +$500 on a PS5 or an *Xbox to play games that barely work, and the friggin' thing constantly wasting 500 Watts of power. ๐ฅโก
While i spent the same amount of money on a used laptop from 2019, where i can replay my favorite games from the PS2 era (and discovering some hidden gems along the way) using only 45W. ๐๐ก๐๐
*At least the Series S does makes sense to me, since it's a lot cheaper and efficent, and it's mainly targeted for lightweight or previous gen titles.
Always good to see two of my interests intersecting :D
Anyway yeah I love playing older games and low-hardware-requirements games. I find that they're also generally more accessible because of that.
And there's far more games than anyone will ever play in a lifetime. Not even all the games one wants to play.
There are maybe some concerns that older hardware does use more electricity, but that's probably more than made up by not buying new devices, unless you're using them very heavily.
apparently rendering 4k is not eco friendly..also it doesn't help that modern games aren't really that optimized..u can't really blame sony only, but i get where u coming from
