  I like to play my games knowing the developers optimized it for exactly the hardware I’m playing on.

    I like to play my games on hardware that I picked out and put together personally. Also I like that hardware to be using an OS of my choosing with as much expandable storage as I could possibly want. Also, I don’t like to give my money to companies that encourage exclusivity on their hardware.

      Yeah, if you enjoy the process of fiddling around with your system and installing cool new drivers and programs to get your game running then PC gaming is better no doubt.

      I just want to turn the game on and play though

        But once you get it working, it works. It’s not as hard as you imagine, got a working Linux gaming setup in less than an hour after building my PC, and with software like EndeavourOS and Proton, you can get yours setup in such a short amount of time it’d blow your mind.

        You make it sound like any of that is difficult or extremely time consuming, which it isn’t. The payout far exceeds the price for entry.

    Both major consoles literally have multiple versions with differing performance lmfao

      As opposed to PC which has infinite variations

    Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven’t played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

      This is why pirating what you already owned should be morally correct :)

      Now the games are attached to your windows and Sony accounts so they’ll follow you around as much as steam games do

        Oh yes my fully disc based games are all on my account now of course, not like they’d make you buy them again right?!?

    I’m with ya. When it’s gaming time, I just want it to work. Not be fiddling with settings constantly.

    That being said, I do prefer RPGs and RTSs much more with a keyboard and mouse, but that’s not such a problem any more

      Totally, mouse and keyboard are very clutch for those genres
