Because who can afford a new gaming rig/system AND games to play on it?

I live in a developing country, I'm not either rich or poor and I have a decent gaming rig (i5-10400 and RX 6600)

For PC stuff you just need to know what to get and where would be the best place to get it (aka where is it cheaper) because here in Costa Rica (where I live) people will try to scam you into getting a 6600 XT for like $900 (US dollars, even though our currency is colones)

As for games you can either hop on the ship and sail or wait until the next major Steam sale. For games I'd recommend Steam but I feel MS Store/Xbox PC is fine as well

Try to search on every website that sells PC. Amazon, eBay, <I don't know??>, etc... They sell "gaming" PC for like 1000$ with a old CPU (like Intel 7/8000) and a 1660

Everyone is a scammer nowadays

That reminds me of this. Some local store here tried to sell a 5700G and 3050 PC for 1941 dollars

~~(For some reasons, Lemmy doesn't want me to see your comment or mine 🤷‍♂️)~~

At least those a meh specs, not the best not the worst. ~$2k is a scam but these are better specs than average "gaming" PC found on some websites
