part of me thinks the PS5 getting *more expensive* at the end of a console generation is kind of funny. like. the tech industry got so ravenously hungry that now the flow of progress is reversing

if they keep it up long and hard enough maybe making games for outdated systems will become a necessity rather than a quirky niche thing some of us do

(probably not though)

@eniko Same thing on the desktop side. My windows gaming PC is from 2017, a 1600X (later maxed to 5800X), 32GB, 1060 6GB. Nearly 9 years old and it's still perfectly adequate because 1) *waves hands around at everything* and 2) tech's useful life range bars have dramatically expanded, and devs keep that in mind. But asking me in 2017 if a gaming PC from 2008 was still relevant, I would have laughed.
