Are you shitting me? Computers are the best tool for having access to literally thousands of fucking games for free that can all run on garbage.
My family didn't have anything top of the line, held onto what we had for 8+ years. I had (and have) more free games than I could ever possibly play.
There's source ports of classic old games, there's emulation of the hits from decades kd previous consoles and handhelds, there's plenty of open source games out there, there's the entire back catalog of old browser games (mostly flash) through flashpoint, US game development college students release their projects for free all the fucking time, there's fan games for stuff like sonic, and lastly there's easy as hell piracy.
And by waiting or playing older stuff, you let time and other people sort out what's good from the trash, so you can better rely on what people say is good.
I was living out of a low powered business laptop released in 2011 until 2021. In 2018 I upgraded it to 8GB of RAM and an SSD. I gamed so damn much on that thing, just not whatever the latest popular game was. I still use it occasionally for chilling on the couch or my porch.
