Who needs a new computer every couple of years. 5-7y is normal. You should be able to buy a desktop for a 10yo and have it last till college.

That’s a good point. I was born in the 90s but I don’t remember upgrading my computer that often in the 2000-2010 era when I would have started playing. Maybe I didn’t play intense games or something.

That’s really a modern thing. It used to be that you’d buy a nice PC and 3-4 years later it can’t play new games at an acceptable frame rate and resolution.
