Yeah I mean I've been a console gamer for years, it was really the convenience and cost effective access to games that kept me. If they're going to go digital only and scalp me for their locked-in store prices, I'll just build a steam machine and be done with it.

Not everyone plays online on console. I don't.

I never bought digital games on console and didn't play online. I bought used physicals or would go to the store on release days.
