For me it is simple. I was in the process of ditching Windows for Linux. I kept Windows on my PC, just for games. Consoles filled that spot, so I could let Windows go.
Nowadays Linux has more and more interesting games, but now I somewhat attached to consoles. But it means I play besides that Pillars of Eternity,Armello, Torment. Divinity, The Curious Expedition and so on.
