Good points. I used to be that distracted pc player. Everything started to be distracting at some point with raise of the internet and yt/streaming.
I find myself easier to focus on a game alone when I play on a console. And on pc, technical stuff can also be distracting for me.
I realize it's more personal thing but it is what it is

This is exactly why i am getting away from PC Gaming.
It is a complete sensual overload! Everyone always wants to multi-task anything, like a social media or Internet addict!

I rather sit down on my PlayStation when i want to play, or just don't, instead of using a game as weird background noise.

AAA gaming on PC is dead, minus a very few exceptions. I get XVI is too out there for some FF fans but the same goes for huge IPs like Resident Evil. A user base the fraction of the PC one, buys so much more.

Yep said it for years. PC gamers love niche genres like RTS, sims, survival, and also live service games. But AAA dont tend to do that well outside of Soulslike, CD Projekt Red, and certain RPG franchises. AFAIK even sports games generally don't sell that well.

On top of that PC gamers are more patient than console gamers and love a sale.
