Myself I was mostly into strategy and simulations, but still I never got a PC because I was also a developer and prefered the much better architecture and operating system of the Amiga.
I got my first PC around 2015 and I can still use it for today's games with i7/3.4GHz, 32GB and GTX970. This wasn't possible in the 90s. You burned a lot of money for a crappy system.

this is 95% right excepting:
if u are into strategy and simulations then the Amiga is not and never was the ideal computer for you
The amiga is ideal for guys who likes platform games , shooters, arcades, puzzle platform games etc
you got ur 1st PC too late,
but yes, in the mid 90s you burned a lot of money in a crappy system buying a pc, despite lot of superior PC games ,it was better to have an Amiga until 1998 or so
