I've been gaming on PC for 20 years or more and I've never had such issues. I have waited 3 hours on painstakingly slow updates and patches on my PS3 games though, and I've played plenty of console games that ran poorly, had choppy framerates, glitching textures and massive pop-in issues. I haven't upgraded any of my hardware either for about 4 years now.

Purchasing, installing and playing games on Steam is no more difficult than purchasing, installing and using apps on a smart device; it just has a smaller audience. This whole fallacy that you have to be a tech wizard to game on PC's and that console games are simply pop the disc in and play, is getting old. Have you ever purchased a digital copy of a game on a console? Why are there digital stores at all, they are so difficult and should be of no interest to console gamers. Mainstream games sell less on PC as a rule, and there are several reasons for this, the PC being a clunky tool that people is too difficult to use is not one of them.

PS: Who would buy a game first and then check to see if they meet the hardware requirements later? If someone is that stupid; their PC is not the problem.

That is more than likely BS. I have a gaming desktop with an Nvidia card and a gaming laptop with an AMD card and have had issues out of both. I have a college degree in computer networking and am a A+ Certified computer technician and I have had issues but oddly enough PC gamers never have issues. Yeah.... I do not buy it

 

I like playing games on my PCs (probably about 15% of my gaming time is on PC) but to argue it is as easy to get into as consoles is nonsense


No offense, but in the tech industry referencing an A+ cert is like telling everyone you are clueless. Its an entry level certification thats required for entry level work. Its also a test that people can easily brain dump.

Second, an associate in Computer Networking is a good start -- but its also worthless unless you have the CCNA (No ... not the CCENT). The CCNA is about a magnitude of 100x better than the A+ for Networking, and the CCNP is about 10x better than that (with the CCNE another 10x better than the CCNP).
