This episode is 30mins of first world problems. Then elitist... You can't play HFW on PS4... as if everyone is blessed with a PS5. Some of us can't afford the luxury if your lucky enough to find one. If you don't have the frame of reference I think playing HFW on PS4 is totally acceptable. Ignorance is bliss after all. Enjoy making your boyfriend his lunches...
