How can I get rid of this holes. They look ugly on my face😢

PC gamers, notably Nvidia users, going at console gamers for buying hardware they deem priced too high and "anti-consumer", will never not be funny to me. Don't think there's a more ironically and laughably hypocritical, unselfaware and salty fandom, but let me explain why with actual data. Value is subjective, and anyone can claim any product is anti-consumer based on ignorant subjective takes on pricing, but one of the more objective metrics that let's us appreciate how aggressively consumers are ACTUALLY being price gouged, is profit margins. Prices can go UP, with margins still staying the same or even getting lower, due to cost increases from macro-economic factors like AI chip or memory shortages, tariffs etc. None of us WANT higher prices and would prefer manufacturers eat losses, unfortunately that isn't the reality of business. But the HIGHER a company or products profit margins, in essence the more consumers of that product or brand are being milked or taken advantage of, albeit willingly due to demand. So what are Nvidia's margins vs PlayStation and Nintendo's? FY24/25 results: PlayStation Revenue - $30.8bn Profit - $2.72bn (9% margin) Nintendo Revenue - $8.95bn Profit - $2.17bn (24% margin) Nvidia Revenue - $130.5bn Profit - $81.5bn (62.5% margin) Nvidia's last reported Graphics Sector specific operating income was 43%. ($5.84bn out of $13.5bn, FY23/24). So Nvidia's graphics sector margins were 5x higher than PlayStation and 2x higher than Nintendo. PlayStation's operating income margin was by FAR the lowest, so the notion they're anti-consumer in how much they extract from their consumers, isn't grounded in factual data reality. Nvidia however is a COMPLETELY different story. They're taking advantage of their consumers and dominant position in PC graphics, to a whole different level of margin. For greater context, PlayStation was estimated to make $50-$100 (7%-14% margin) on each PS5 Pro sold at launch based on BoM cost estimates, and Nintendo $50 (11% margin) on each Switch 2, whereas Nvidia is reported to make ~300% or greater margins on some of their GPU. Let that sink in. Nvidia are price gouging their consumers up to 4186% more than PlayStation with PS5 Pro, and 2627% more than Nintendo with Switch 2, and yet PC gamers have the gal to suggest it's console gamers that are facilitating anti-consumer hardware pricing lol. In addition to Nvidia's gross GPU profit margins, in recent times they also; +De-prioritise gaming consumers for AI. +Are trying to usher in a generative AI slop filter future. +Launched hardware rife with hardware defects and issues. +Took advantage of crypto mining demand in pricing too. And despite all the above and Nvidia's eye watering GPU margins, some PC fanboys who bought Nvidia GPU attack console users for buying PS5 Pro's, before AI and other related price increases that've plagued PC gaming FAR worse for half a year now, finally come in to place. It's beyond parody and the lack of self awareness laughable. Based on the numbers and data, it's Nvidia PC gamers facilitating the most "anti-consumer" pricing with orders of magnitude more aggressive profit margins and price increases than the console platforms, vs even Nintendo who are historically very profit savvy. So PC gaming Nvidia users, kindly STFU before you come at console users on hardware pricing. Ya'll are some of the biggest marks there are based on the data and numbers. And those who are happy to pay massive margins on hardware and components, but scoff at paying towards actual games and supporting creators (eg the art we buy these gaming systems for), are even more contemptible.

The PlayStation 6 is predicted to cost $1000, classifying it as a "luxury expenditure". Why would you buy this, just build a PC.

Im really starting to believe these people aren’t just making a joke. I think they truly believe that only a few games exist, they completely ignore everything else. Or they just have nothing else to say.

Sony have just announced that the price of the PlayStation 5 is going up on April 2nd 🇬🇧⬇️ PS5: £479.99 → £569.99 PS5 Digital: £429.99 → £519.99 PS5 Pro: £699.99 → £789.99 Every model up by £90. Sony citing "continued pressures in the global economic landscape" 👀

This generation of PlayStation has been one of the worst in gaming history, and I'll tell you exactly why. Sony has released almost nothing that actually justifies upgrading to a new console — Spider-Man 2 being the one exception. Most people are still playing online games that run perfectly fine on last-gen hardware. If it weren't for that, nobody would have a reason to buy the PS5 at all. Then there's PS Plus — overpriced, underwhelming, and shoved down your throat just to play online. You can't even touch multiplayer without paying them first. A friend of mine couldn't play Split Fiction with me because he didn't have a PS Plus subscription, even though I already owned the game. Think about that. Who actually owns the console here — you or Sony? And the hardware situation is embarrassing. Someone jailbroke a PS5, threw Linux on it, and got performance nearly identical to the PS5 Pro. That tells you everything. The gap between the PS5 and the PS5 Pro is mostly software and AI upscaling tricks — not real hardware. Sony is artificially holding back performance and charging you $1,000 for a console that'll be obsolete in a year or two. And the controller? The DualSense is one of the most expensive controllers on the market and still ships with bad joystick components that wear out constantly. I personally know someone who's bought four of them. This is exactly why switching to PC isn't a luxury — it's a necessity. On PC, you own your games. You play on your terms. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no artificial locks. You want ray tracing? Turn it on. You want higher frames over better visuals? Your call. You want to play a game from 2003 next to a game from 2025? Go ahead. No compatibility issues. No company deciding what you're allowed to run or when. On PC, you don't need an Xbox AND a PlayStation. You don't split your money across multiple subscriptions that give you nothing back. You know exactly where every dollar goes. And speaking of where your money goes — when you buy PlayStation, you're funding a company that has spent this entire generation actively disrespecting its audience. Muscular female leads shoehorned into male-built worlds. Weak, hollow male characters. Beloved IPs gutted to push an agenda. Ghost of Tsushima. The Last of Us Part II — a game that could've been a masterpiece, thrown away to serve an ideology. Sony took "For the Players" as a slogan and spent years doing the exact opposite. I'm done with it. Sony doesn't deserve your money, your time, or your loyalty. The door to PC is open — walk through it.
