as a pc mustard face
Mostly free or one tine cheap purchase besides hardware for Games
DLCs are becoming more and more commonplace, same for marketplace and lootboxes, debatable
free online
most of the time (check WoW and similars)
huge library
50/50 it's peak or dogshit, no curation (applies to console too doe)
backwards compatible
until it isn't, lots of games and programs have been shitting themselves like flash and old windows 7 and earlier stuff
Trolling and freedom of speech
depends on the game and the place
i'll add:
modding (free)
has more uses than just vidya
modular, something gets fucked, just change it
reliable, it's a machine made to serve more than a product to entertain
comfortable
easier VR if you're into that
more powerful
<way more expensive to be fair
<no guarantee, if it dies you're fucked
<market for pieces is a headache, most games ask for more and more expensive specs so you're forced to upgrade all the time to run the newest shit with pretty graphics
