| Chairman-Mao said: I disagree so strongly there isn't even a word for it. Yeah everyone has a PC, not everyone uses it for gaming. In fact a small percentage actually plays games. And of course I mean games like Half life, not minesweeper or solitaire. I still consider a game thats only on one console and PC exclusive. |
We've already covered that part, you need to go back and re-read the thread. But for a quick reply.
Just because YOU, as an individual, or the majority, chose to not play games on a platform, dosent make it exclusive to the one you play it on
. Platform is by definition;
- "The [consumer electronics/electronic systems] used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles."
- "The term "platform" refers to the specific combination of electronic or computer hardware which, in conjunction with low-level software, allows a video game to operate. The term "system" is also commonly used."
So by definition the PC is a platform, aswell as a console.. among other devices. So as established, if a software can be played on multiple platforms, the word for it would be what?
