I’m not paying for multiplayer. The internet, electricity, games and accessories are expensive enough.

It was all downhill from PS4, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch.

I will be gaming on steam deck instead.

I couldn’t find a ps5 when they came out and I could afford to buy one (at retail price, not scalper crap). Now I can find them everywhere, but I have 2 kids, and while working 2 jobs, can barely afford to pay my bills thanks to today’s economy. So I’m avoiding them, but certainly not by choice. I want so badly to play cyberpunk, battlefield 6, Hogwarts, Spiderman 2, etc. and am incapable of achieving that feat.
