Why has console gaming turned to such kikery? How can it be sustainable to release consoles every 7 years when there's never focus on the experience for the current console? Companies are always making games with the next console in mind, so now most AAA games being released have performance issues because they are thinking of a future re-release/remaster or they just straight up don't release the most wanted titles now because they want it to get all the publicity of being on "next-gen".

Whenever i get tired of console shit i'm just gonna sell everything and build a high-end PC and pirate every single triple A game released, i won't be treated like cattle anymore.
