| vivster said: The PC market is quite healthy. Games don't exist because of consoles, consoles exist because of games. Consoles will never deliver the same experience as PC because the platform holders don't want it to do that, which is why all of these attempts to deliver slightly more power and freedom are only half assed. Maybe there is a problem if even the most critically acclaimed games cannot sway PC fans to play on console. Maybe it's because consoles can't even clear the lowest of lowest bar for choice in gaming. The restrictiveness of consoles is basically what fuels the PC market. |
Well, it depends what games we are talking about. Of course there is a bulk of PC only games, let's say MMOs, and you can not experience them elsewhere. This is fine.
From bussines POV, multiplats aim for consoles, heck even Witcher 3 sold 70/30. That is why a new generation of consoles is like an earthquake for every gamer,developer and publisher. There is no escape. It's good that PC is pushing new tech of course, but it changes next to nothing, the consoles are a true change, like Bluray, HDR, and stuff. Because they are the mainstream.
Maybe this is a problem, I just wanted to highlight one thing - despite lack of pure power, they can still deviler THE games and THE tech.
Most of PC fans, I guess, plays some freebie online game with a shitton of microtransactions, what is the biggest engine for the market. Browser games are 15% of the market, not the high tech quality exclusives.
