Okay. So you have to play 6 games instead of 5. Seems like the majority here are focusing in on details that don’t have a large effect on the math.

It could be $500 and it’s 7 games to break even.

Whatever you say 🤷‍♂️

Yas. ThatsThePoint.txt. No discs. No cartridges. No resale. DRM single license only.

Yet the comments here calling me a liar and people telling me I’ve been tricked.

You can go buy 3 years of gold and convert it into 3 years of GPU for $70. Even without the discount you are taking about $250. The math still easily works out.

Disc, cartridge, same shit. You are focusing on the media because the lot of you don’t understand what it is to be able to resell it rent games.

The simple fact remains I play more games that I want than you for cheaper by renting them. And this pisses people off here. I haven’t even brought up $400 GPUs into the equation 🤣.

Oh for a handheld, whatever move to a cartridge, that’s some pedantic shit right there.

And yes, valve did fuck up and trick PC gamers into accepting games you can’t resell. And yes, that’s why it’s cheaper to play on consoles and rent. That was very much the point.

Reselling I was getting about 80% back via Amazon within 2 days. There are other options than GameStop.

And I guess we’re done since math is too hard. I already showed the value proposition. I’m not sure if you don’t know math, but you’re going to need to show me what quantum formula you are using that shows in not saving thousands of dollars.

Fairly trivial and well known concepts. I’m not even sure what you could possibly be confused about 🤷‍♂️

A. Yeah $400 for 64gb, real value. But whatever I’m sure that one is real popular.

B. No, not if you sell them back or rent them.

C. I payed $70 for 3 years of game pass. I have since played well over 40 games.

The math on renting is easy so I’ll spell it out to you.

Gamepass + game fly == 30+ 205 = $235 for the year. Let’s say you are a light gamer and only play through 5 games a year. That’s 70*5 == $350, you have already broke even unless you include hardware, then you lost a whole ago.

I personally play more like 30 so I’m saving well over 2k USD a year.

PC gamers spite their wallets so they can play a stream game once and be proud they own it

Budget? It’s $600 for a device that’s already worse off then a console power wise. You can’t use discs and do pay more games. In what world is this a budget device?

If you want to game on a budget gamepass+ gamefly + Xbox is the cheapest way to game hands down.
