    Sure, you’re obviously more likely to have problems like driver issue on a PC than on a console, but in my experience, those kind of issues (or any kind of issue for that matter) are so extremely rare, it’s totally negligible in front of what bring a PC to you and it certainly won’t make me want to switch to consoles for a waste of 20 minutes of my time over a year because of some program or piece of code that didn’t run as expected.

      I guess we have different acceptable levels of wasted time.

      It’s funny actually. Not directly gaming related, but I just yesterday updated my graphics drivers and my video editing software had a blue tint to everything in the preview window. Had to keep rolling back to find the version that broke it. That stuff drives me insane.

        Do you use Windows by any chance? And cherry on top, an AMD GPU? That wouldn’t surprise me because that’s the worst combo possible. Unfortunately, I can do nothing more than empathize with your issue, it’s indeed a pretty big deal considering it shouldn’t be an issue in the first place, whether you game on your PC or not. I use personally Linux and I’ve never had any problem for drivers, whether it’s Nvidia or AMD, since I use it, which could explain our difference of experience.
