Im surprised such a low number is a record for the amount of pc's there are in the world.


That is STEAM users online at the SAME time. There are over 100 million ACTIVE STEAM users in the world.

Well, how many concurrent users were the records on the other systems?

Xbox Live:

Any numbers for PlayStation network or from Nintendo?



WOW! No wonder PC gaming is twice as big as console gaming!



You are talking billions of Pc's. With steam being the largest platform for pc gaming you would assume there would be more. I use Steam on a regular basis, mainly just to check on their great steam sales.

That is really an idiotic statement. You think every people play games on PC? I use my PS4 for Netflix only. 100 million active STEAM users beat all consoles. Combined.

 Not every person that owns a PC uses it for gaming though!

Can we have a civil discussion on how PC gamers are the laughing stock of the gaming world?

Go on Steam and every profile belongs to some spastic redditor autist with either a doge or a little cartoon girl as their avatar. Half of them idle in TF2 while they shitpost on /r/masterrace.

They're the most vitriolic fanbase as well, constantly obsessing with graphics and framerates. Just running bland games like Crysis for self-validation. Manchildren build elaborate computers just to strive to beat others in the e-peen contest, and brag about online to incite others into their hivemind.

They pledge and beg for petitions, and when the game gets out they pirate it in droves. Did I mention that the majority of them are fat and unsightly neckbeards as well?

Constantly they purchase unnecessary hardware upgrades due to their autistic attraction to colorful LEDs, which has lead devs to say 'fuck it' towards optimizing, since it's just a waste of time.

And what games do they have? May I remind you that PC's GOTY was Gone Home? FUCKING GONE HOME! All of their other games are fucking kickstarter alphas and autistic $300 spaceship simulators that won't be released till 2021. It makes me proud that generation defining game artists such as Hideo Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki, and Hideki Kamiya know to steer clear of the PC ass cancer.

"pirate it in droves"

That may have been the case in 2008. Hovewer, now we have Steam. People pirate on consoles also.

 

Hideo Kojima? http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/05/hideo-kojima-wants-metal-gear-solid-5-for-pc

We also got Metal Gear Rising and Ground Zeroes. Seems like he loves PC gaming now.

Majority of console players are under 12 years old.

Console players get fucked up in the ass and they don´t even try to be against it. Sony "Watch Dogs will run 1080p 60fps" It didn´t. Console faggots were okay with it.

 

We are now getting almost every game that is coming out. Indies, Japanese games, Xbox exclusives, ALL f2p game, etc.

 

Butthurt peasant. Get your 20fps and leave. You disgrace of a "gamer"

Did an autistic person kill your cat or something?

It makes me proud to see that a guy like you finds PC gaming so horrible, it shows how great PC gaming really is since the opposite of your opinion seems to be the way to go if I read what you just wrote
