Can someone please tell me how the Xbox One conference makes PC gaming seem appealing?

S.T.A.G.E. said:

1. I know about almost all of those games, but lets leave those to people who like to game on a keyboard fulltime. They stay within the PC world....outside of the lionshare of the industry. The only thing PC gaming is doing that is affecting the console market are casual games, but again those are happening everywhere casual games exist.

2. I am not out to prove console gaming is superior technologically, I couldn't prove that even if I tried. Yes, I think the games made with consoles in mind (Multiplats and exclusives) deliver a better experience to me than PC exclusive games, but thats just my opinion. I said console gaming is the last arena where gamer rights exist. This is exercised by the generational collections you find and the process of buying and selling PC gamers havent had the ability to enjoy for years. The fall of true ownership of your games is issue. No one owns a digital file that they purchase a license to. I don't own your Itunes music, you dont own your free copy of your dvd/blu ray digital file that was given with the free code, You don't own Microsoft word, you don't own any game you buy on PC. In the digital realm....you are allowed to do certain things digital files aren't tangible and dont signify ownership. If consoles fall that low, they are no better outside of the sheer wealth of exclusives across all three consoles.

You aren't limited to a keyboard fulltime on the PC, you can use an Xbox or Playstation controller if you fancy it.
Heck you can get a SNES or N64 controller if you wanted!
Or maybe you fancy the Wii Motes? Kinect on the PC maybe?

And what do you mean by Lions share of the market? Steam has what, 50 million+ users? Battle.net has un-told millions, 10's of millions play on Leagues of Legends... Origin has something like 30 million+ users... It's not a tiny market and publishers make more profit per-game sold due to no middle men (Aka, Sony, Micrososft, Nintendo) taking their cut.

As for point 2.
You keep claiming that we don't own our games on the PC, you technically don't own the games on consoles either as they are limited by the same licensing restrictions as other media.
I.E. You are not allowed to duplicate, break the copy protection, limited to certain devices, agree to the licenses etc' etc'.

Again, there hasn't been a class action lawsuit against such practices so it's still mostly a grey area, however a company regardless of the Terms and Conditions/EULA... Cannot and will not override your basic consumer rights and the rights you are given in any respective country, untill then I own my games, not rent them for an undisclosed period of time, it's what they were advertised as and that's what the law will probably side with in my country, that I bought it.

If you're against DRM, there are PC stores which market towards people such as that like GoG.com, it's not like you don't have any choice in PC land.

As for taste in games, everyone is different, just in future don't make false claims and generalise things.
