I don't understand why anyone needs to have the newest PC games right now.

See, what I do is build a PC that I feel is very good performance vs. very good value. After that, I see what games I can run and buy those.

My last computer couldn't run, say, DOOM 3, but I wasn't about to upgrade a machine just so I could play DOOM 3. My current machine, which costs a fraction of the price it would have when DOOM 3 came out, now can, so I bought it.

I agree that buying and upgrading a PC solely for the purpose of gaming can get ridiculous, but let's keep in mind that without publishers pushing the limits, we wouldn't have similarly higher demands for electronics upgrades, which means your $300 video card today would still be extremely expensive 3 years from now.

Game publishers and hardware manufacturers who push the limits drive down the prices on slightly older stuff for the rest of us.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah but you can't then complain about the price of gaming, is my point.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
