Forreal. Even for me with very limited internet, id pay monthly like Netflix for just renting games.

Console companies purposely make their consoles non-upgradeable

2020-05-01 17:33:33 UTC  

Because the price would likely wash out to how we have it right now.

2020-05-01 17:34:24 UTC  

It would be neat to bring pc gaming to more homes like consoles

2020-05-01 17:34:41 UTC  

Streaming you can basically use any shitty pc

2020-05-01 17:35:20 UTC  

Ehhh, debateable.

2020-05-01 17:35:30 UTC  

For good streaming and gaming, you'll want a good PC

@Sparrow Console companies purposely make their consoles non-upgradeable.

planned obsolescence

2020-05-01 17:36:35 UTC  

It's so you always have to buy the next-gen console in order to play new games. More money that way.

2020-05-01 17:37:52 UTC  

Yup, that tradition is in large part due to the lightbulb corps.

2020-05-01 17:38:24 UTC  

Making lightbulbs that only last a certain amount of hours

2020-05-01 17:40:52 UTC  

N64 had the 256mb upgrade around the time Donkey Kong 64 came out. I remember having to upgrade it.

2020-05-01 17:41:27 UTC  

Maybe 128MB?

2020-05-01 17:42:11 UTC  

The ps2 had an upgraded WiFi chip

2020-05-01 17:42:24 UTC  

That allowed for you to be able to play online

2020-05-01 17:42:38 UTC  

The ps2 thing i had was a stand alone box

2020-05-01 17:42:55 UTC  

Cant remember how it connected tho

2020-05-01 17:43:42 UTC  

I believe it was actually inside the console. I can’t remember shit I was like 7 😂

2020-05-01 17:43:45 UTC  

PC gaming for all. I agree, but then you need internet for all. Guess ole Musky Poo is working on that one though. Government's got the five ghee on lock.

2020-05-01 17:44:10 UTC

2020-05-01 17:46:55 UTC

2020-05-01 17:47:22 UTC  

Well starlink may be a option

2020-05-01 17:47:28 UTC
