I mean why build a pc with specs that I could have had years ago for the same price.
40% of gamers: cause I didn't build it those years ago
Some percentage, including me, would have built a second or third
For a while now new hardware has been like 10% faster and also 10% more expensive, so they could have saved a lot of R&D time by continuing to manufacture everything from 2020 and added just a couple of new things to the top of the product stack.
Exactly. My computer is 7 years old. I can build a new one that is twice as fast for triple what I spent then. No thanks.
