What happens? What happens already now, people who care 1080 playing games on PC and pray consoles don't dumb down games again sadly they already do...

They already do? Talk like that just makes you sound ignorant. Here, have some info and make of it what you will. Taken from Steam.

 

  • ~50% of Steam users are using less 4GB of CPU RAM or less
  • ~88% are using CPUs with 4 cores or less
  • ~75% are using GPUs with less than 2GB or RAM
  • ~95% are using monitors/displays with 1080p or less
But somehow, consoles (PS4/XB1) are limiting PCs? I think some PC gamers aren't actually being very realistic. They don't seem to realize that even within their platform they are a very vocal minority. They seem to take what is "possible" with PCs as the norm. But thats all so far from the truth its not even funny.

 

No it makes you ignorant, I never stated that all PC gamers care about graphics.  I stated that people who care about graphics will play on PC.

Also you just think about power but it is also about limitations and restrictions.  

A game like Minecraft (that almost everyone steam user can play according to the stats) has infinite worlds on pc but not on PS4/XBO because they can't handle it.  The consoles have restrictions on the size of save files (possible because of the Skyrip big save file issues) that hurts the experience of Minecraft on consoles. That is also why we see console gamers getting MC on PC and not coming back to the console version because it feels so downgraded.

I know very well that if MC was made for consoles first and it would have not infinite worlds and get ported on PC it would also have not infinite worlds...If I then stated the game is downgraded on PC you would come up with that steam report and tell me most PC gamers don't have a system that is stronger than PS4/XBO so only an idiot would think MC would be made on PC with infinite worlds because only the minorty can handle it...:(. 

At this moment games are meant for consoles that will be restricted/downgraded in different ways because fo the save file size issue. Those games if ported to pc will hardly see an upgrade....
