kind of. You can avoid directly giving money to China by buying used hardware. Thankfully most games nowadays don't need the newest hardware unless eye candy is cranked up. Any quad core sandy bridge on up will play most things, and haswell-up will play VR, and used Pascal 1070+ cards are good for most 1080p

Then there's classic games. I have an offline computer I built 15 years ago that runs some of my favorite games of all time. It'll be a sad day when that rig goes down.
