    I’m near the bottom left because I’m poor. I think people over-upgrade their PCs, though. You can get a lot of mileage out of old hardware.

      Shhhh, don’t let them know… /s

      People who upgrade and resell their still-good hardware keep the used market awash in 1 and 2-generation old stuff that keeps the hobby more affordable.

      I’ve realised this recently. I spent close to 2 grand (Australian) on a new PC a few years ago, with a 1440p monitor, and I generally play isometric RPGs and metroidvanias…

      I do enjoy some high-fidelitt games, especially stuff like Alien Isolation and the Metro series, but I think I don’t need to spend so much next time.
