All I can say is: WTH happened to the PC gaming community?!

I mean, I've been a PC gamer my whole life. I've been gaming on PC since before I could read. I built my first PC when I was 10.

I love building a cool machine. I love overclocking and tuning to get more performance out of my system. I love optimizing my PC's cooling to get it cooler and quieter. I even love fiddling around with graphics options to get the best out of my hardware. But most importantly: I love gaming.

However, despite my love for PC gaming I feel ashamed of the community nowadays. Most of the time I don't even want to out myself as a PC gamer anymore because it would mean associating with a bunch of elitist pricks. Many PC gamers seem to spend most of their time ridiculing consoles and belittling console gamers for daring to enjoy gaming on something else than a crazy-overpowered-$3000-monster-machine of a PC. Why don't you spend your time gaming on your "crazy-overpowered-$3000-monster-machine of a PC" instead of pestering the rest of the gaming community with your nonsense?! Everybody would be better off.

Sorry for the little rant but it's been bothering me for a while and after reading some of the typical pcmasterrace-posts I had to get it off my chest.

Oh... and a bit more on topic: It's a business - whoever pays, makes the rules. It can suck sometimes, but we'll just have to deal with it.
