>Clearly, you have no idea of how the moving industry works.

It's really no answer to say I need to understand how each industry works.

Why would I? And why should I? It's the government's responsibility to understand the nuances of, and regulate, each industry.

Do we really want to live in a world where consumers need to understand the detail of how each industry operates so they can ensure sub-sub contractors can be remunerated appropriately?

Print and frame this content chain as a fine example of Poe's law.

Eh, I hope it doesn't. Tipping needs to die out. I'd prefer to have the moving company pay the movers a living wage such that a tip would be unnecessary and politely refused.

Cost is also a valid factor. You're not going to get an affordable PC with comparable specs that run 4k games. At some point your PC might break even, but in the here and the now, a console makes sense. I'd only recommend a PC if you needed a decent graphics card for some other reason, like video editing.

Another factor is you're far less likely to encounter modders. First thing I do is disable PC crossplay, if the game lets me.
