I profoundly dislike the philosophy of renting rather than owning your compute, but with the current price of components, I just can’t be bothered to buy a gaming PC. I have a steam deck and a £10 subscription to GeForce now, and with this I’m sorted for pretty much anything.
For the £120 that it costs me a year, I could barely buy a 16 GB RAM stick, let alone a 3060 RTX… It would cost me 10-15 years worth of the subscription to buy something equivalent and there’s no way anything with those specs is staying relevant any longer than 5.
