I've had three gaming PCs and spent maybe $10K in computer parts in the last fifteen years. I know I've definitely saved more than that versus having a console.
If you got every major console of one manufacturer during those 15 years you'd have like 3 consoles. That's less than 2k
Now factor in the game costs. The thread is about piracy.
They only talked about "computer parts". In any case, I highly doubt most ppl would spend 8k on console games.
8k over 15 years comes out to about 9 games per year. Not that doubtful at all. In any case, the point is piracy gets you more games for less money.
