"I've never seen women play any games except all these games I've seen them play, but that doesn't count because reasons"
Bonus points for transphobia and ableism.
Fuck people who think like this. TIL that only men play lots of genres of games, which is news to me because the majority of my male friends only play shooters and one plays nothing but... wait for it... RPGs.
G*mers are a mistake.
That, to me, is why it's accessible for more people: for $400 you get a machine that will get you 5-8 years worth of useful life. It's a walled garden, but it's a damn big walled garden. And you don't have to worry about checking specifications, you don't have to worry about shady sites for pirating your games, you don't have to be annoyed by needing to upgrade one item to run a game. For an additional $60 you get a AAA title that should, in theory, work, plus you can pay for access to a huge backlog.
Now, that costs more than PC can for games, but in return you get convenience. For many people, that's a good trade.
I don't worry, I love it because I don't have to pay, I'd worry if I had to pay.
I spend $12 a month on humble bundle all of which I have go to charity, every thing else gets pirated.
