Which was why I asked, can only the people who game on high end hardware and own a lot of games (100+) be considered as being interested in PC gaming?

Would you say a person that owns a dozen books aren't interested in reading?

I'm not talking about being a PC gaming fan. I'm not a PL gaming fan, despite owning a good amount of games (48) (FYI Steamspy says 80% of Steam users own less than 4 games. Now, I know Steamspy isn't completely accurate, but Even with a 100% margin of error, I'm still far far above the majority of Steam users.), but I'm definitely interested in PC gaming. 

 

Of course, if by "generally interested in PC gaming" you mean owns a ton of games and high end hardware, then yeah, sure, most of the users on this site aren't generally interested in PC gaming, we can agree on that.

The way you asked it would make it sound different to the way I'm trying to explain it, that's why I asked with "if I own a few DVD's, does that make me a film fan?", see I know I'm a star Wars fan, I go out of my way to collect a decent amount of merch, compared to the few DVD's I own that example seems to tell you that there is definitely a difference here. You say you have a few games on Steam but how often do you game and what do you game the most on?, what is your core preference?.(everyone has a core pref that can shift but they definitely do have an underlying core). As another example, for the longest time I was a console guy, however during all those years I played the odd few PC games during those times (RTS and P&C types) but my underlying main preference was that of being a console gamer. 3 years ago that changed when I acquired a job with more stable income and help from two friends, my main core pref switched from that of a console to that of a PC, I still game on a console at a few friends places whenever I visit and want to grab a Wii U and see what the NX has to offer but at the end of the day I'm more into PC gaming and it's my main platform which is why I was trying to point out to you how not many here aren't interested in the PC gaming side of things, the evidence clearly states as such with the amount of consoles news, discussions, sales data etc. I even told you of the threads PC gamers like me, Basil and Zero created and how they got on in terms of popularity which is to say not much and it shows.

Not trying to be mean or some spastic asshole but I strongly believe that this site has more of an interest for console gaming than PC, the amount of those interested in PC gaming than a console is very very small and it's hardly going to change. I don't mind when people use SS, I just mind it when people take it as the holy grail of data and at times (yes on this site and it will happen) it can be used to smudge the platform in general and that's just a byproduct of inaccurate data along with those who just aren't interested in the platform but are enough to want to use a tool against it (apparently according to one on this very thread that's very "tin foil" hat of me despite it being an actual thing that occurs around the net, to say that doesn't happen is woefully ignorant).

The last part, yes I can definitely agree on that. Sorry if I'm coming off as a twit btw, my writing style compared to how I talk to others by voice is different.
