A video shows on reddit where exactly a gamer’s priorities lie when his house is on fire: clearly with his PS5.
What does the gamer save? The user Stunning7Princess posted a video in the subreddit r/playstation that shows a gamer clutching a PS5 under his arm. The caption reads, “The guy’s house burned down and he saved his PS5.”
Stunning7Princess comments in the title: “Priorities! House is on fire, but the PS5 is safe. A true gamer.”
Gamer saves only his PS5
How does the community react? The community is almost unanimously in agreement that they would have acted the same way:
- AnimeGokuSolos (via reddit): “Good for him. I would have done the same thing.”
- BracusDoritoBoss963 would also save his cat along with the PS5 (via reddit): “Cat or PS5? I would save both.”
- H17M4ND (via reddit): “A house is temporary, a PS5 is forever.”
Why does the gamer only save his PS5? Unfortunately, we do not learn the exact reason in the post; several speculations arise from the comments.
For example, the user MathewW87 (via reddit) suggests that he might have a save file in Red Dead Redemption 2: “Everything else is replaceable. The RDR2 save file that he didn’t save in the cloud is not.”
User malikx089 (via reddit) completely understands the gamer and states that a PS5 is just too expensive to let it burn: “Man, please… the guy didn’t want to pay 500 or 600 dollars again.”
Nacho_7258 also gets it, not wanting to spend that much money on his hobby again, as other things are significantly cheaper (via reddit): “Given the time and money someone invests in a hobby like gaming, it’s not surprising that it is a priority to save it if possible. Clothing costs less, food costs less – hell, sometimes a bed costs less.”
With the high prices of a PS5 or even PS5 Pro, it is understandable that the priorities lie in saving the gaming console. MeinMMO author Benedikt Schlotmann has found out for you whether it is worth ordering a PS5 Pro from the USA: Is it worth buying a PS5 Pro in the USA, which costs 170 euros less there?
