Same here. I have a 3600X with 32GB RAM and a 3070ti. I see no sense in upgrading for a performance boost that I have no need for. I mostly play indie games and AA Titles. And even graphically heavier hitters like Space Marine 2, Wukong and The First Descendant run fine on 3440x1440.

Before Playstation 6 and Xbox Series X MK. 2 Y Type Z (or whatever MS will name that) i don’t think there will be a significant need to upgrade.

Most of the flag ship titles of this generation run perfectly playable on most mid tier gaming PCs and laptops. And the PC handheld market is also cutting into the traditional PC gamer market as well. Things like the steam deck, legion go or ally x all have taken away a share of people that would have usually bought an upgrade by now.

I bought a cheap 55" 4k. The “smartest” functions are menus for color correction, sound and choice of input source. It runs perfectly fine on my desktop as an additional 4k monitor with 60hz. And it doesn’t try to phone home.

Jeah. I’ve turned my Legion Go into a Steamdeck experience with Bazzite. Best thing ever. Mostly worked out of the box except some small tinkering.

I’ve made the switch to Bazzite this week. First on my Legion Go. And after that worked mostly out of the box and without any hassle I installed it to my desktop. And it really is the first time I feel like I’m not missing something or have a use case that would not be covered. Steam/Proton really is a killer combination and will in my opinion be the thing that will make people consider to switch.

I think he meant more consoles with SteamOS.

I’m in the same boat. I feel like everything is just regurgitated over and over again. Every twist, every turn. And I’m tired of watching something and be able to predict, what the plot will be. It’s the same with music. Many songs are written to perform by metrics, like length and listener retention in the first 30 seconds, so that you reach the magical monetization line on the streaming platform of your labels choice.

Acutally yes. Yes I would.
