I got into PC gaming in ~2009 primarily because it is so much cheaper than console. Steam sales and Humble Bundle allowed me to buy so many more games for less money.
The initial cost upfront was higher than a console but if you want a lot of games it ends up being worth it.
And those games do not die with each or every other generation of hardware. Almost my entire Steam library still runs on my latest machine.
