gamers ruined high end hardware

>>106247356 (OP)
And all they do is bitch about games sucking. Fucking retards.

>>106247356 (OP)
If gamers ruined your 'high end hardware' you're not using high end hardware

>>106247368
correct. i didn't payed 10000 dollars to render this. i want buffy manly men with big guns, lots of violence and unrealistically modeled women that look exactly like real 3D women from the real world

Why is it so hard for western devs to give us shredded men and huge tittied hot women? How is this so difficult?

I like games occasionally but they have zero impulse control. They literally buy every thing with "gaming" on it and the yearly enshittifications of their favorite series despite the old version still being perfectly playable.

we can't have nice things because everything is aimed to gaymers with shitty aesthetics and gaudy designs
i fucking hate all of them.

remember when the standard price for a top of the line gaming pc was $1000 if you built it yourself?

>if you built it yourself?
wtf are there really people that buy pre built PCs?

>>106247356 (OP)
Your hardware, my choice.

>>106248681
yes, and they also ruined gaming. prebuilt companies buy a fuckload of GPUs which are then missing from the shelves for DIYers, enabling scalpers
the scam we've all been sold is that more people into the hobby is better. now gaming computers cost way more (magic!) and games are way shittier. but we now have turbo gay rgb designs and fishtank cases and racing/robot themes on motherboards

More people is better, but gaymer fuckwits aren't that people.
PC building used to be big enough that there were more stores selling components 20 years ago than now, with independent stores being the bulk.
Now you have to be a huge conglomerate where PC components are a side gig or be next to huge population center's.

Things where more rational when the silent majority built PCs.

High end hardware also ruined games

>>106248829

>>106248879
it's more of what kind of people got into it. back in the day you had to know how to build it, at the very least. that was a filter for a certain type of people getting into it.
now you have a lot of ignorant and entitled retards that ruin the market with their purchasing power, steering it into shit directions

>playing videogames in 2025
you are literal retards

>guys I wish I could afford the time to play
cope harder

what do you even do with your free time
does your son's wife even allow you to have any time for yourself

>gamers ruined high end hardware
no they ruined low end hardware
there was a time when that was targeted
it's gone now
high end is targeted
in that new doom game
8 cores to play on fucking low is the target
8 cores to play on fucking medium is also the target
8 cores to play on fucking high is somehow also the target

they look at this and say only one thing - I need the high end, everything else is garbage and trash and I don't want it

They don't even have 4K monitors and say this

gamers did this they ruined the low end hardware

>>106247356 (OP)
I'm glad that I'm older and that my taste in games is largely set in the 90s and 2000s.
I obviously play stuff more recent than that but it's usually indy stuff where the spec requirements aren't so high.

>>106247356 (OP)
Other way around, gaming hardware was cheap and widely available until somebody noticed it could be repurposed for compute workloads.
Not the fault of PC Gamers that Nvidia responded by raising prices through the roof.

AMD still separates gaming hardware and and data center hardware. You can get a complete AMD powered GNU/Linux based gaming PC for $399, a small fraction of the cost of the data center tier hardware from Nvidia practically required to play games on Microsoft Windows 11 these days.
You can also still buy AMD compute hardware for GNU/Linux systems for much less than its Nvidia counterparts too, but nobody seems to be doing that either.

If you complain about high prices or high requirements but you keep supporting the same vendors, you only have yourself to blame.

>they have zero impulse control.
Not only zero impulse control, they are the worst kind of consoomer sheep imaginable.
They purchase components that are engineered to fail as soon as the manufacturer's warranty expires, and then when that happens they just purchase a new one from the same manufacturer and brand.
Companies realized that, and this is why consumer grade PC hardware has garbage durability these days.

Replace "hardware" with "money"...
