Re: If it's that, then Gaming PC it is.

: To me, the locked-down hardware I don't need to constantly upgrade and fiddle
: with makes the cost worth it. I really dislike Steam as a platform on PC
: too, cheap or not.

I have a Mac Pro form 2008. I recently put in a $200 graphics card, installed windows, and it runs modern games like a champ. Bioshock Infinite looked great.

But actually build your own, and you can easily get a decent rig for $500, especially if you already have monitors. That, and it will play a back catalog of games going back for decades, not to mention any console game there's an emulator for… Get a gamepad / joystick etc, hook it up to your HDTV, and play it like a console.

PC Gaming really is the master race.
