I’d much rather game on old hardware or janky arm based stuff than use hardware as a service, even if it means being 10+ years behind in performance. There are so many great games that will run on pretty much anything
I got a XP PC for playing The Sims 3 and some Lego games and such on it. The PC was my first ever PC, and I have since upgraded it with free parts I have found in the trash… You won’t believe what kind of top-notch-at-the-time things people just throw away. It’s quite pleasant lil machine, my lil machine.
That’s awesome! Unfortunately I have a pretty high hardware fail rate, at least for motherboards and gpu’s. But I also have/had a penchant for overclocking everything, so guess I’m kind of asking for it. Most spectacularly had a nvidia 780i sli motherboard let the smoke out from running a q6600 at 3.2ghz for a few years. That was a rad platform, still feel kinda bad about that one tbh

Just think how cheap gaming would be when it’s all on old hardware too. Or when you can get a raspberry pi 8 and just emulate it.
