Even if you build your PC with PS5 equivalents, you are most likely to pay at least a bit more for the whole package, and - most importantly - games still won’t run as smooth as they do on PS5.
Console games are optimized to work best specifically with their hardware
True. How much are games on the ps5 and how much do you pay to be allowed to play online?
That’s another thing, yes - games are more pricy, cannot be pirated and there’s no third party websites for buying keys for cheap.
That being said, you can still buy games on discs and later resell them. That way you basically play for free if you buy used and resell for the same price.
I’m also a big fan of Playstation Plus
