zero129 said: Ok. well reading the "Bethesda Treats Console games like shit" thread, i seen a very good point one user brught up in that thread that imo didnt get the attintion it deserved. Console gamers are more willing to accept such things then PC gamers are thanks to exclusives. let me explain (Or try to). See exclusives force you into buying a piece of hardware you otherwise wouldnt need unless you wanted it. This also means that since you have no other option to play their games, you must accept whatever they want to put on you, That or go to PC gaming or quite gaming. This also means you become loyal to that brand and defending it even when they clearly do wrong. I mean just think of the things console gamers have accepted from their own companys but wouldnt or would make backlash about it if it was anyone else. Pay to play online. Making you buy the same games again. Are two of the biggest defenders i have seen console gamers both attack when it wasnt their console brand doing it, and defend them practice's when it was!. The is a reason why PC gamers are not being charged again for Skyrim, and thats cos we would make massive backlash about it. Destory its reviews on steam etc etc. IF they do charge for a remaster the game better be a good remaster. And it also better be cheap and have a massive discount if we already own the game. We never accepted the push for Pay to play online when MS tried to Push it on us with GFWL. Sony fans where so against MS charging for online play AND THEY WHERE RIGHT TOO! Why the fuck should you be paying for something that should be and is free on other systems??. But then Sony comes out starts charging for always online and then it no longer matters. If you guys wasnt loyal to Sony you would of never allowed them to do this. MS would of face massive backlash and should of faced it from their own fans also. Exclusives, Pay to play online, Money Hatting, DLC, etc are all Anti Consumer things that loyal console fans are just willing to accept as long as its their own fav company doing it. And yes, They will come up with excuse after excuse for why this must be and why its good. So i ask why is it that some people cant step back out of that mind frame and say "Why am i willing to accept this from my fav company, but i wouldnt accept it from anyone else?". I think its time console gamers started becoming more like PC gamers and start pushing more instead of just accepting anything your company is willing to do. It made me happy when console gamers stud up to MS with their always on DMC thing. But then in the back of my mind i fear that the only reason for that was its MS. I cant help but think if this was Sony it might of happened. So are console fans more willing to accept things then fans of PC's?. (This is not an attack on console gamers and should not be taking as such). Lets keep the thread clean people as its a pretty good question imo. |
You seem angry at some people, can I know who you are angry at?
