Uh-oh, some PC people are not going to be happy about this!


Only those that act as if PC is one, universal, superior closed platform on which absolutely everything is better compared to consoles

Not very suprising, majority doesnt upgrade much and many play with laptops which are lot weaker than desktops anyways.

My 2 years old 500$ rig is still better than the average, lol.

'tis true!

What's interesting, the majority of PC gamers I know, with high-end/Enthu rigs hardly ever brag about PC gaming, itself. It's the people who's machines just top consoles that feel the need to belch out how much better the PC is. 

It's more like you get what you pay for, the question really comes down to how much of an asshole you want to be about it.

Well, for the most part! I still don't see any games tking advantage of my $1,000 GPU! Paid for it, not having it pushed!

Max Crysis 3 out at 4k res across monitors :P

That was a pretty bad article. It tried to play on the "Master Race" stereotype, which is now far from being the norm for a PC gamer. The average PC gamer now is just a regular person who bought a system from Best Buy or Dell and likely also owns a home console. The divide really isn't what it used to be.


But wasnt this the point of the article.

It should have been.  Instead of trying to dissolve that stereotype, however, it continued to reference the "PC Master Race" and seemed to perpetuate a philosophical divide that has, instead, very much faded.  The tone seemed to be that of a console gamer trying to mock PC gamers rather than of someone pointing out that we're all pretty much just gamers at this point.
