No consoles are an even worse solution. They’ve been through several generations of hardware iterations in the same amount of time.

What console line has had several generations of hardware iterations in the past decade? Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have all put out two generations at best, with plenty of games still shipping to the "old" generation even now.

		They’ve all had 2-3 models in the last decade-ish. So that’s at least 1 time I would have had to have thrown everything away. I miscounted though, I’ve been running the same OS since Windows 7. Probably 2014. I’ve been able to upgrade without having to throw away my entire operating system. Consoles aren’t a solution for longevity.

? That's not the point though? With consoles you just sign-in to your account and you're basically done, you don't Hce the hassle of dealing with migrations like a PC.

		Switching my hardware and having to buy all new games isn’t the point??? How is that longevity?
