The problem is the reason those people don't get into PC gaming is because they don't wanna spend $700 on a gaming machine.

That's not necessarily true. I want my gaming to just work, and that's not the case in Windows. It's becoming less the case with console gaming, but I can still be confident that when I buy a game for my PlayStation it'll actually boot, I won't need to use third-party software for controller support, and I won't need to tinker with drivers. That said, I already have a PS5. The TV I game on is still 1080p, so I don't understand what $700 would get me over my current hardware.

Sounds like your last pc gaming experience was in the 90s.

Yeah, steam straight up tells you if games have support for controllers, and they are all plug-and-play...
