Ok, since we seem not to be caring about the money developers can make. You can pirate games on the PC for free. How can you beat that? When you rent and buy used games you still pay something, how do you beat free?

I hesitate to mention pirating as a positive for PC gaming, yet it probably is the reason a lot of people prefer it.

You mentioned used market. What's the difference between the two?

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SUGGESTING THAT THE USED GAME MARKET IS EQUIVALENT TO PIRACY?

[edit:  oops, forgot to refresh -- everyone has already jumped on this.]

The end result is the same. THe developers get no money from you.

Edit: crap yoru edit came in too fast.

Oh, don't worry -- if you haven't slunk back into whatever corner spawned that terrible concept, I'll happily take you on. 

In the case of used/rental games, the developers got money from SOMEONE for every copy of the game that's out there.  In the case of piracy, they didn't. 

So say 10k people rent/circulate a game which someone paid for with 50 bucks. Definitely someone is getting the money and it's so much. How much does each person pay the developer? Thousandths of a cent?

So much fail....sooo very much fail. The used game market is good for devs in the same way the used car market is good for auto makers. Since you probably won't understand, let me explain. Say you bought a brand new car last year. This year, the new model is a "must have" for you. But you don't need/want a second car, and you have no money for one since you just bought a new car last year. You got all the enjoyment out of your old one, and are want to try a new one. What do you do? You sell the car. Now you have cash in hand, and can afford to go buy that new car. See where I am going with this? If you have three games that you beat, a new game just came out that looks amazing, but you have no cash. What do you do? You sell those games you will probably never play again, and use the money to buy the new game. Now, if you had never sold the used game, chances are, you would not have bought the new one. Also, this is good for the consoles. See, if fewer people can afford the games, fewer consoles will be sold, if fewer consoles are sold, fewer new games will be sold because less people will be interested in playing that game their friend doesn't have. 

 

Back on topic....

PCs are better for some game types, but as a whole, consoles offer a more uniform, cheaper, user friendly, comfortable gaming experiance. 

Consoles don't have the same degree of cheating as PCs do, it is much harder to truely manipulate your network without having to go through complex proceedures on a console. It is also much harder to mod your games or hardware to give you an unfair advantage.

Console controls are more user friendly, less buttons to keep track of, no getting destroyed by the guy with the $300.00 lazer precision, fully customizeable, extra precise, wireless mouse and keyboard set.  

Consoles are cheaper, no need to upgrade anything just so you can play the latest game, it's a one time purchase baby!

Nobody has an unfair advantage when it comes to graphics. You aren't going to get raped by the guy who has the $500.00 crossfired Graphics card running full bore, while you are running your pos $120 graphics card barely limping along.

Console win on almost every level....I really don't know why anybody is bothering to try and argue that.

 

Ok... So then if you pirate then you have even more money to buy new games..... What the hell is your point here cause it seems to me you fail a whole lot with your explanation. Also why bother buying the new gme when I can get it cheaper when I buy it used, thus the developer never gets money fom me anyhow.

Also laser mice don't give  nowehere near as much benefit as you might think. Also you don't need to upgrade to play the most recent games. If you want them to look truly good then yes, however curently you don't need to upgrade anything all that much to have graphics better than what the consoles have for the rest of the generation. Also this might be a ewsflash for you, but you don't have to play on highest settings of all video options, that's why options exist.

I also can't help but laugh how much you put oon graphics. Did you know some people in some shooter games actually LOWER their graphical settings just so they can distinguish enemies from the surroindings better. In that case that $500 video card is actually a detriment not a boon.

As for cheating, honestly I haven't ran into that many cheaters, maybe a dozen every 6 months, so that's a dozen matches ruined in total out of what? Thousands? Yeah... definitely matters so much.

I can't imagine how anyone else could hve stuck more fail in one post than you did right there to be honest, since you obivously don't know crap about gaming on PCs to begin with. Or if you do then you are just acting like someone who doesn't have the slightest idea.
