You can go for an Intel B580 and an AMD 7700 and have a decent gaming experience for well under 1000 $/€, even ignoring used parts. A Steam Deck is 420€.
It’s not like gaming is unavailable, but everything above low-end has a premium price tag at the moment. What people don’t seem to realise is that this low-end is still on paar with current gen consoles and games still look pretty good without spending 2k+ on a computer.
You are making a valid point tbh… I wonder if current teenagers actually even care to buy parts and put them together themselves like it was back in my day haha
