Playing the victim again............ |
Wow... are you one of those people that are hell bent on "winning an argument" so they just throw all reason outta the window while at the same time playing the victim role? PC gamers are irrelevant? One second you are talking about nondigital adoption then conveniently ignored the facet of the industry that dictates all these trends.
PC gaming was the first to adopt disc based distribution while consoles were still chasing their tails with carts. Fact. And PC games were the first to run games primarily off a HDD to improve data streaming. Fact. And now PC games are all digital. You saying you don't see a trend there? But fine, for the sake of ur slanted argument lets ignore PC games.
Do you know why the current gen consoles PS4/XBO install all their games to the HDD instead of running them of the disc? Its because of transfer speeds. As games get bigger an level assets get more data expensive, you need much faster ways of moving that data. What this means is that right now there is a fundamental necessity to using a HDD/SDD that a disc can NEVER match. And that trend will only grow. Imagine this, spend 1min 30 secs loading a level off a disc or spend 5 seconds loading it off a HDD, and how patient you can be here isn't even the issue, do you realize that how fast you can move data to RAM actually affects how a game is made?
I was gonna say something about the ridiculous thing you said about tablets replacing PCs (obviously because as tablet tech improves PC tech remains stagnant) but I won't bother. I can see winning is more important to you than the facts so I will just let it go. You win.
