Thing is, generally everyone has a PC. You can get a higher end laptop and play a lot of games on it. That way, you can choose a specific console but still have access to games not on that console, and old games.
I’ve always been a Playstation gamer but I use PC to play Sims 4, Alan Wake and Quantum Break, and Star Trek Online when in a trekkie mood.
Star trek has many games. I enjoyed watching the VR bridge simulator one with a few popular internet personalities joining together to attempt and figure out the hilariously obtuse switch board on the original Enterprise.
Tons. Lots of good ones too. GOG has a large chunk of the older ones (Bridge Commander with mods, Elite Force, and Armada II are my favourites). Everything from point and click adventure games to ship sims, to FPS’s, RTS’s, and an online MMO.
HAS a game. In addition to the other comments, there’s an MMO. Star Trek Online’s been going for like, 11 or 12 years now. It’s actually pretty neat because the missions are “Episode” format and they go by “seasons” for content. They have a LOT of Trek actors for voice acting. Like, they did have a lot of content voiced by Rene Auberjonois and Aron Eisenberg before they passed. They had some sequences with Leonard Nimoy voicing too.
They had one season that had most of the Voyager cast, except for Janeway and Chakotay, and then they got Kate Mulgrew for the current storyline. They had another season that was a DS9 reunion with a whole storyline set from the DS9 hub.
Right now I’m a bit checked out because it’s a HUGE mirrorverse storyline, but they got Wil Wheaton, Gates McFadden, and Kate Mulgrew doing voiceover so I’m almost certainly going back to play through.
It is, however, a free to play model with lockboxes. If you’re competitive you end up spending money or a lot of time, but if you just want a story you can ignore all that.

Sadly, the STO subreddit did not move to lemmy with the major Star Trek subreddits.
