No one is forced to play it on PC because it runs worse on XB1.. Where was that even a point? The point I am making is the XB1 version offers both the console experience and the PC experience. So if you were going to buy the most powerful version of the game, than the XB1 version is the best choice since you can play it on your PC and will offer better visuals than both XB1 and PS4 versions with the right hardware. The Convenience of options. -snip- |
I was making a joke at the practical application of your point. If someone owns a PC capable of outperforming an X1, they're likley not going to care about the X1 version anyway (not even as a means of playing with friend, as it's a single-player only game).
For most people playing on PC or the X1, there are only 2 ways this plays out; either they're playing it on PC anyway, or only have an X1. In both instance, your point is a bit silly. The only instance in which 'it doesn't perform worse if you play the X1 version on PC' is relevant here is if someone has a PC that can play it better, was going to play it on their X1 anyway for some reason, but then decided it performs worse than they expected so will play it on PC anyway. This all also has to have happened after they bought the game on the X1, or statistically they'd likley be buying it on Steam. I don't personally imagine this'll be a common scenario :p
I'm not bashing Play Anywhere, there are other instances where the choice could be great, but in the context of a performance thread your point was pretty amusing. Or at least i think it was ^^
