Weren’t consoles supposed to be the cheaper, more convenient option?

They were until an orange bitch started a trade war. Now everything is going to be too expensive, consoles and PCs alike.

To be fair, the trade war was going on long before trump enacted tariffs.

If you ever saw someone spreading FUD about Huawei or Tiktok, it’s because they’re peddling rhetoric put there by our rulers to stoke the fires.

I mean, barring Nintendo, they still are and will continue to be as long as you don’t need to have games on day one. I very rarely spend more than $20 on Xbox games. Most AAA games go on sale within the first few months. $70 Ubisoft titles will literally be $15 a month after release, not that Ubisoft makes much worth buying these days but it was just an example. The digital storefronts (again, not Nintendo) have sales constantly, you just need a little impulse control.
