"Console owners are all dickheads. Believe it or not, this hobby's about having fun – not raining on other people's parades. Let's not lose sight of that fact. Console owners are all dickheads.
Harden the hell up, and deal with the fact that console gaming is required in order for PC gaming to exist outside of facebook. The way PC games were made was fine back in the day when game development costs were low. Then they started increasing, but game developers were ok because they could make a truckload of cash on consoles. 1# Console games funded your ability to have cutting edge graphics. Now, consoles are getting more expensive to develop for and so the developers can't use them as a source of infinite money anymore. 2# This means that PC developers have to cut costs somewhere or go bankrupt.
Lets say you have a rich friend, he gives you $10 every day to buy cool stuff with, then one day he gets robbed, and tells you he can't give you money anymore. The polite person would say "That's ok, infact, I'll try to give a little back if I can" You, however, fly off the handle and blame him because you can't afford the shit you were going to buy with the money he was to give you. |
1# what? you have got to be kidding me PC exclusives have pushing the boundaries in graphics since the days of Doom and most of the PC games with truly cutting edge graphics are from PC exclusives or at least have PC as the lead platform (Crysis, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., metro 2033 the Witcher 2, Battlefield 3etc) if anything consoles only have the graphics they do because of PC gaming as the GPUs that power the consoles were based on designs developed for the PC and many of the engines and techniques used were pioneered on PC. It is only this generation where PC advancement has slown down that consoles have come anywhere near PC games.
2# The entire industry has to cut costs or go bankrupt TBH as AAA game budgets on all platforms are growing much faster than the audience so only the most successful developers and those payed by platform holders can afford to be exclusive. Yet there are more PC exclusive games being made than console exclusives (overall not AAA) despite not having a big company like Sony of Microsoft paying for development.
and your last paragraph doesn't make any sense.
