My phone started getting stuck randomly 2 days ago and would restart afterwards. It got worse with time as it remained turned on for less and less time.

Eventually it just stopped turning on all together. Even getting to fastboot was a big hassle.

I've done a factory reset, wiped data and flashed 4 different factory images but it just doesnt go past the Google logo and loops back into it.

Is this a hardware issue? If yes, how much should it cost to repair and is repairing a good idea?

RIP.

5X bootloops are the cause of poor quality control and LG's shit manufacturing. The G4's and V10's were affected by the same shit.

Replacing the board is the only way to go, but people said even new boards are bootlooping, so I guess there's really not much you can do other than sell the phone for parts.

My Nexus 5X died a few months after purchase. Turned out to be a fault with the board.
Gonna stay away from LG from now.

    I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
    170 + countries where Steam sells but PSN doesn't will lose access unless they use VPN

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
