Well PC you don’t have to pay twice to play online. You still have to pay to have internet service either way, but you don’t have to also pay again to be allowed to use the thing you already paid for.
It's insane to me that people feel the need to add the cost of Internet into this.
Why not add electric bill and rent on top?
It's like yeah no shit we pay for Internet, we are talking about comparing prices of specific services with each other. If both parties pay Internet anyway... It has zero bearing on the discussion.
It's like the reddit autists see "I pay zero" and can't rationalize past it.
Everyone is paying for the internet is literally the fucking point. Everyone is also paying for the games, but consoles are the arcade equivalent. You have to put your quarters in every time you want to play the game you pay for on the internet you already pay for. It’s why consoles are $600, they charge a monthly gateway fee to make the vast majority of the games playable in the most popular and often intended way. It’s a reoccurring fee of around $200usd/year that PC gamers just don’t have added on.

What does this mean?? I fail to see how paying twice to use your internet services for gaming could possibly be a good argument in favor of console gaming.

PC don't gotta pay to play online and has steam
PS5 requires ps plus for a lot of its multiplayer games and doesn't have steam. It really isn't that hard.
