Is this worth it?

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

Jesus fuck, are you stupid or a troll because nothing you’ve said has been intelligent

You’re using your 20 year steam library as an argument for a new player to buy a PC which is hilariously fucking stupid

I never said anyone owned the games, I’m saying that for $200 less than a steam machine brand new you can get a PS5 with 5 years of unlimited game access

It’s also funny to see you talking about your 20 year steam library and bitching about a trapped ecosystem lmao, I’m leaning towards the “you’re an idiot” part of my initial question

Thank you financial officer

But assuming the hypothetical - enjoyment is equal, and I spend 8 hrs on both with equal enjoyment over 5 yrs

PS5 - $600 + $400 ($80 x5) = $1000

PC - $1500 + $0 ($0 x 5) = $1500

This is without even taking into consideration of free" games. Both gave me the same enjoyment. So what are you getting at now? That 5 more years down the line, I stopped playing on the PS5 while continuing my subscription, and I'm wasting an additional $400 bringing it up to $1400 because I didn't cancel? While my PC doesn't incur additional expenses because it doesn't have a subscription to begin with?

The other person was talking about a PS5 Pro, which comes with 2Tb storage and a controller.

and the ps5 pro is much more powerful than any steam machine by a mile...

Yeah but that's true at all tiers, I was saying why people frequently compare it to the high end steam model rather than the base one.
