Microsoft just raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99/month, and fans aren’t happy. Many are canceling, some are calling for a boycott, and even Microsoft’s website is struggling to keep up.

Why do people even play on consoles? Just build a PC and be done with this shit.

Building a PC that can compete with a console costs like 4x as much as a console. A modern graphics card alone costs more than a console

Every time I ask someone to show me the mythical build that performs as well as a console does while costing less, they either disengage because they realize it's impossible, or they come back with a $600 build that performs just about as well as an Xbox One

3070 ti can be bought used and does the trick. Also you can find a PC on marketplace for a few hundred. And upgrade the GPU. You’ll get a PC going for just about what a console costs now.
