For me, personal experience.  I port beg along with a lot of PC gamers for 3rd party mutliplats.  Did it along with others for Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma, Square Enix games, Platinum games and just about every Japanese 3rd party multiplat that's only on consoles because I'm not going to get a playstation or xbox to play one or two 3rd party games that aren't even console exculsive that I kind of want to play.  I draw the line at console exclusives because I know that's not happenning -- like how I used to see large threads (not here) wanting to get Bloodborne to come to PC.  I remember a lot of people were also extremely thirsty for GTAV before they knew it would come to PC.

I thought it was a forgettable, throw away comment but I guess people here who are PC gamers took it as an insult.  If people were insulted by it, then I apologize.

Its an insulting word what way did you expect people to take it?.

Also no your wrong.

People expecting a game that they know has a very very high chance of coming to the PC is not "Begging"..

We "ALL" knew GTA5 would come to the PC, so saying "Ill wait for the PC version" or "I cant wait for the PC version" is also not begging..

Saying it would be "Nice" if Uncharted 4 was on PC is also not begging. Thats just saying something "You" and possibly others would like. This in no way means all 120+million PC gamers feel the same.

Using a few examples and making a Bold statement such as "All PC gamers are beggers" is bound to offend when its simply not true, and also can be turned around.

How many console gamers wanted XCom2 before it was known for release?, How many for Civ?. WoW?, Star Citizen etc etc.

This in no way means that since "Some" console gamers have said they would like them games that "All" console gamers are beggers or even want them games. And it would be very foolish for me to make such a Bold statement from a few examples the same way its foolish to do the reverse..

Okay.  And to be fair, I didn't say all -- I said "that's more of a --".   That's not all; that's you putting words in my mouth.  All I'm saying that I see more port begging from people who are primarily PC gamers from my experience than I do from other communities. That's not me saying that only PC gamers port beg -- every community has people that port begs. If you want to be insulted by what I said then I can't help that.  I apologized.  That's the most I can do.
