I'm officially a PC gamer.

I've used it, and I don't like it. I do too much on my computer to limit myself to games and web browsers (and with a gamepad, no less). Conversely, when I'm using my PS4, I can quickly switch back and forth from Netflix, to game to Vue, so on and so forth. BPM, as far as I can tell, doesn't do that.

 

And I'm pretty sure most of those same users you're referring to aren't actually sitting on their couch with a keyboard. 

 

And I never said no one will buy an XB1 since you can play those games on PC. Recently I even toyed with the thought of getting one myself on the forums here in light of the news that PS4Pro wouldn't have a UHD drive. 

 

 

1. Web Browser with a controller is stupid.

2. Big Picture Mode Removes all the diverse usability attained from having a PC in the first place.

3. Modifying BPM only invites crashes, since many user-mods are made my amateurs. 

4. Typing from a couch is super uncomfortable and worse for your back than it is to be typing hunched over.

5. Using KB/M from the couch either has signal loss for wireless, or runs wires across the living room.

6. Using a gamepad means you're just going to have to have both.

 

Why bother jumping all of these hurdles when a console is designed for the couch from the get-go? Oh, because it fits with that "consoles should go away and everyone should be PC only" agenda.

First of all We are talking about Steams Big Picture mode.

Like i said before if you want to use your pc for other things such as work clearly a desk or a table is better.

But then like i said you can also use something like Steam Link for when you want that "Console" like experence giving you the best of both worlds, Something you said PC cant do..

So if you only want the "Exact same console experience" Why cant Steams Big Picture mode give you that?.

And how are you gimping the Pc experience if you can use it as a PC and as a Console thanks to Steam Link?.

No, we're talking about using a computer from a couch, you're just trying to change the direction of the debate because you know using a computer from a couch sucks.

And it can't do the exact same thing because BPM doesn't have streaming services built into it, nor can it switch between all of its tasks seamlessly. 

And you keep saying "use this", "use that"... How about I use a console, and avoid having to download a bunch of extra junk on my PC and buy a bunch of crap just to have it run halfway as efficiently from a couch as a console would while also tying up my PC? How about instead of overcomplicated the couch experience (which, at its core, is supposed to be simple), I just use a product designed to do so from the start?
