    A yes, a very insightful and polite response.

  You realize there’s been vast technical advancements since 1995, right?

    able to run anywhere on hardware of your choice i

    So if this statement is true, an OS wouldn’t be a limitation.

    Of course tech is better, that’s why you can’t play on it? Do you need this pointed out?

      I’m not the OP, but the original statement wasn’t that you can run on all hardware—but rather the hardware of your choice.

      There are many, many different PC models available, with a variety of form factors, with vastly different components. And you can choose whatever gives you value.

      Nobody is claiming that you should run Black Myth Wukong on an old IBM Aptiva except you.

        Right, but it’s not freedom, when it doesn’t run on everything. You need to keep your system updated to play modern games.

        With a switch, any game released, you know will play.

        So yes it’s MORE exclusive in some situations.

        Where? Don’t put words in peoples mouth if you want to have a civil discourse, but of course with this being your post, we know your bias already.

  There are flaws and benefits to every platform, that’s why they exist otherwise only one would stand the test of time. There’s a reason why PC gaming continues to march on. It has its flaws, sure, I wouldn’t necessarily say glaring though.

  The argument here isn’t that PC gaming is flawless or you can run on literally any hardware or os, that’s silly. Just that it’s more flexible and open to choice. I run my Steam library on my Windows PC, Linux PC and steam deck. Games I bought a decade ago can run perfectly fine on all these configurations. That’s the argument I was making and why your claim of PC being more exclusive seemed so disconnected from the reality of my experiences at least.

  Still, it’s not an argument to say you should use one platform or the other. Just that they are different and have their pros/cons, flexibility being a huge pro of the PC platform that’s important to some people and less so for others.

    That’s literally what I’m trying to point out? They all have their own quirks. And yet people bicker it’s funny.

    I point out there’s limitations on PC, and get insulted. The circlejerking against Nintendo and for Steam is just wild on this community.

      Well, I don’t know what to tell you then, mate. If that’s all you’re trying to say I don’t think it’s particularly controversial. Maybe it’s the way you’re saying it.
