I never said "small or insignificant" I said smaller than consoles. 

$35b is definetly a lot. But like the graphs showed over half of that is free to play and/or e sports titles. If we are talking big budget AAA games each individual console sells more than pc. Maybe not switch. 

Not dissing Asia either (goverment sucks though). Just saying that they are way more inclined into free to play and/e sports. Over half of pc gaming is asia and 80-90% of that is thouse types of games. Just saying devs take that into account. They don't just see that $35B. 

But Pem wasn't putting focus on just AAA games, he was putting focus on the entire side of the PC industry. You were the only one putting focus on just the AAA games market, which as we all know isn't the entirety of the games industry, or the market itself, so his point still stands.

There's nothing wrong with e-sports or F2P titles, but at the same time, AAA games aren't somehow "more important", than the former either. A lot of devs see that money, hence why that market is very profitable, as well as why we see devs constantly making new games on PC first, via consumer supported projects, publisher funded ones, or devs just making games out of their own pocket. Devs absolutely see the money in the PC market, they wouldn't be making games on and for that platform if it wasn't profitable.

I've seen this weird kind of focus before from console players, and I'm honestly not sure if it's an argument born from jealousy, or some kind of thought process, to self validate seeing PC as some inferior platform, be it in sales or exclusives (which they excel at for both anyway, as Pem will likely tell you). I've seen that focus point being used for years, and it gets debunked every time (Pem will be sure of it in this thread, so I'd cut the losses on that thought process while you can, or get prepped for a few days worth of arguing a focus point, that's easily debunkable).

Your right . he gave a list of games and I added the question of why being a pc master race person would he champion the smaller games to wich his setup really wont matter much. That's why I included AAA. 

Nothing wrong with e sport titles and f2p. But the issue being discused was games being held back and he brought up games that are relics or are so undemanding that phones play them. Pretty much disproving his point.

Again I never said pc gaming is small. I said there is a clear divede of which games are making most of the money. Thouse games are not the type of games we drool over when it comes to specs and whatever else fans fight each other for. 

Never claimed pc was inferior. I think nobody can deny that its the superior experience if you have the money for it. Which makes that groupd very small. Nothing wrong with it just that it explains why devs don't focus to much on thouse high specs machines. 

I myself don't play f2p or e sports or any multiplayer to be honest. But that is mainly do to time. I only have time for so few games that I only play the best games I can. Also they must have an end in sight. Unlike f2p e sports on multyplayer focused titles that are meant to be replayable for ever. I just dont have time for that. If you wana laugh it took me almost a month to beat god of war. That should tell you a lot.
