Most games you just click play and they work. You don't need to install drivers or programs or whatever you think everytime at all.
If they release a dodgy patch or one you don't like, you can just revert it. On console you are stuck with whatever they give you.
Don't like a game after a couple hours? Doesn't work correctly? Refund it.
Mainly its linux that will have issues you have to navigate and that is probably where most of the technical questions you come across root from. If you have Windows then 99% of games will just work as you expect.
