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.

Yes. There's barely any difference between a console and PC components-wise and size-wise nowadays. With a current-gen console, you pay more money for fewer input options and exclusive titles than PC, plus the privilege of paying for an online subscription to game peer-to-peer on the internet connection you already pay for. There's literally no reason to game on console anymore.
