The funny thing is, I think PC gamers are now more open-minded than console gamers. PC gamers play all kinds of games, from indie to FTP, on all kinds of hardware, from laptops to old eMachines from Wal-mart. Playing on a PC is far more accessible now than it used to be. On the other hand, I see a lot of console gamers put down indie and FTP games while saying that they're only interested in "AAA" titles. The script has gradually flipped.

I think the difference between PC gamers and PC hardware enthusiasts is substantial and something that a lot more people need to recognize.

Still, It's weird how it seems like the PC gamers (You know, the stereotype of teh PC Master Race) are like the white people during segregation...

I think it's more like the rich looking down on the poor.  It reminds me of the French aristrocracy, "let them eat cake," and all that, because the upper reaches of PC gaming really is superior in all measurable ways.  The reason I say that is because those truly fixated on hardware also look down on PC gamers who play on the family Dell.

That makes more sense.
