Are most people in this thread really of the opinion that everyone buys their console games at 60$ and everyone who buys PC games, waits for them to cost 5$?
What about free games on PS+, Platinum releases that cost 10-15$ (which is where I get most my games), PC gamers who actually do buy their games at full price (or at least for a lot more than 5$, games of any impact very rarely dip into these prices)?
I bought, ironically enough, Skyrim for 50 euros, among others. Same with the Half-Life series, Oblivion, Morrowind, Starcraft II, Diablo III, The Witcher 1 and 2 etc. PC gamers do buy games at full price or close to it as well, but they also buy a lot of games on sale, no doubt. I just think it's unfair to suggest that we're all such cheap bastards who are more or less ruining the business on purpose. And on the others side; there are a lot of people who buy their console games cheaply, it's not like software stays priced at 60$ for very long, unless it's a Nintendo game or Call of Duty.
Every gamer I know who spends ridiculous money on gaming is a PC gamer first and foremost.
This thread, and many others with similar themes before it, seem to incite posts with a very black & white stance on PC gaming, where one fits into one category as a PC gamer and one as a console gamer, there are many stages in between and big differences on each platform.
As a general rule; 3rd party blockbusters do indeed generate more revenue on consoles, that much is true, but the above mentioned claims are still unfair and false.
