Somebody explain the appeal of consoles in 2026 to me. I can easily connect any controller to my PC, and get games at half the price for it?

Cancel culture is not a thing. Actions have always had consequences, the new change is that people with power have also started to receive consequences. You are fighting their fight if you are against “cancel culture”.

If you work for a company that prioritizes profit over quality - yes.

I no longer work in government IT, but from what I have heard from old colleagues, quality is still prioritized there and they are not forced to vibe code.
