Nice, more disappointment incoming.
Wake me up when a “Gaming PC” costs the same than an Xbox Series S.
Wake me when a gaming console is less locked down than NES the 90s.
Well you can already put the Xbox Series S/X in dev mode and install whichever emulator you want such as dolphin
I heard that they were locking people out for doing this recently, though I could be mistaken
Right that was for users who were side loading on the regular retail mode instead of the developer mode:

Appreciate the clarification!
Graphics cards most of all have become insultingly expensive, yes.
Do consoles still need an active subscription to play online? That's where they make their money, the hardware has always been sold at a loss.
I just amounts to -1 game for the cost of a yearly subscription. That’s nothing compared to the cost of a GPU alone.
Consoles won this generation.
I don't care who wins anything, both have their pros and cons. I prefer PC because I can tailor everything to be exactly like I want it to be.
And you know what, rising gpu prices have taught me to be more sustainable and consume less.
That being said, the 6700XT has been looking mighty fine for a while now
