I don't really find it weird at all. This is a site that's dedicated to tracking sales, and I think a lot of users here have a sort of "abnormal" (for lack of a better word) interest in these kinda numbers and metrics. It's the same reason why quite a few people here are rather interested in the Box Office I think. It's just that up until recently, we had no semi-relaible source for sales on PC, but now we do. I see people using Steamspy quite a lot here when discussing sales really. And also I think you underestimate the amount of people that game on PC here. Just because someone is primarily a console gamer doesn't mean they don't have a Steam account and own a fair few games. (I consider myself a "console gamer" but last year I almost only gamed on PC, and while my library isn't as astronomically large as some PC gamers' is, I do have 48 games in my Steam library). |
I agree. I see no reason to be exclusionary. It creates an unnecessary divide. The main point is that someone plays videogames. What I especially like about PC is how it's gathering up users who might play most AAA releases on consoles but are picking up smaller titles and PC exclusives on Steam. The more people who do this, the less we have to hear from the crowd that likes to attack PC gaming at every turn.
