| KingHades said: Ok alot of people have asked me before whether or not PC Gaming is the right choice for them. I simply reply and say it's all preference,but I wan't to know from other what they think would get them to switch to PC gaming. First Question: What are the most relevant PC Exclusives? Not on consoles so No you can't say Half-Life just because the PC version has better visuals and support. Second Question: How is Steam able to price their games at a lower price then retailers themselves? Third Question: Which one is more bang for your buck will you get everything you wan't out of PC gaming or no? Just answer these Questions. Oh and don't forget to say which is more Relevant in this day and Age PC Gaming or Console Gaming? |
1) DOTA, WoW, Starcraft 2, Torchlight 2, Guild Wars 2 for me as of 2013.
2) No used market in PC games, developers have less "licensing" fees thru Steam. The game can be sold for one dollar if the publisher/developer agrees to that price, and can still make money off it.
3) Gaming PC is more costly up front but over time it ends up being cheaper (usually), and you can use the PC for things besides gaming. I prefer console gaming, but PC is defenitely cheaper.
Steam is awesome. Don't forget Amazon deals that use Steam keys. Last year I could have gotten quite a few titles for $10ish when they were more expensive on consoles.
It's just that simple.
