Gaming

Oh, I guess my comment looked like I was mad at the console companies? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound angry. I just don't like using consoles because sometimes it feels like there is a forced obsolescence placed on them like just about everything these days. I feel like investing in a console is submitting myself to the whims of the console maker, who will decide for me when it's out of date and how I'll be able to use the games for it in the future. You know, I have an iPad 2 that works just like it did when it was brand new but it's not useful for very much because software updates on it were stopped a few years ago. Now it's a digital picture frame. If the iPad was a person, I think it would shout at me and say, "I still work great! If somebody would just let me, I'd show you web sites! Why are you just using me as a silly digital picture frame? I'm way better than this, you fool!" I think if people like using consoles they should feel free to use them. I don't like them for me because I like to have all my games in one place and usable in the future. I see a PC as a better use of my money (again, for me, not for everyone) and I'm glad I made the decision to stop buying consoles years ago. If I had kids, they would learn how to game on a PC or not play games at all, I guess! Anyway, I was mostly talking about money, but there are other good reasons to use a PC over a console. For example, you can upgrade a PC with newer hardware as needed, so that's less wasteful, don't you think? Anyway, no anger from me. Console companies will do what they see fit to make money. That's how the economy works and that's just the way it is. That being said, I refuse to participate in that system and I think if somebody reads this and decides not to, well I did something useful and helpful today.
