There are endless discussion on the internet why pc gaming is superior than consoles and vice versa.

I don’t understand that there is a necessity to prove that one is better than the. Just play your game and let other gamers enjoy their game too.

    Why I hate console gaming: The limitations of consoles regarding the graphics and available buttons carry over to PC. Weapon wheels are a good example of that. Especially around the 2010s, when consoles were in the focus of the publishers, PC versions often felt like badly ported console games, including graphical and gameplay downgrades that weren’t necessary at all.

    Why I hate mobile gaming: Microtransactions and the manipulation of the player that comes with them. They slowly crept into so many games. Sure, mobile gaming didn’t invent them, but it perfected them. Now even 70€ titles have a cosmetics store and a season pass on day one.

    Why I hate PC gaming: The elitism, how awfully expensive building a PC got and the worst one: Cheaters. Cheaters that not only destroy the fun of other PC players, but of console players too with the advent of cross-platform multiplayer. It shames me that console players automatically turn off cross-platform, because they are afraid of PC cheaters.

      Because they ARE bad console ports. Because console versions sell more, because they don’t know any better, because consoles have a lower barrier to entry, because they’re cheaper, and that means that your demographic STAYS that age, because as babies are born and become old enough to play they get consoles, so investment firms can make the same stuff and make a fuck ton of money.

      PC players are old, more experienced, and generally DO know better, so garbage butt shit doesn’t sell as well as it does on consoles.

      It’s not a jealousy issue, it’s one of disappointment and frustration.

      We can’t change the landscape without education. This is true even for politics.

      Unfortunately, change is hard and stupid people breed, and hate and destruction is easier than understanding and construction.

      Pc players are so fucking desperate for good things, and the console and mobile market prevents anything good from ever happening by being terrible role models for business.
