Isn't Shovelknight on every platform?

The funny part about everyone getting pissed off at the "19 PC exclusive" is that PC doesn't even compete with consoles and the console industry. It's consumers are a different type of gamer as console gamers and the two industries don't overlap much.



This just shows exclusives can't carry a console anymore. All about the third party.

You could say the same about the wii u and ps4/Xbox one. That shouldn't stip people from making comparisons. But if you are going to make comparisons, don't make false accusations like pc only has 19 exclusives when we all know that's false

Speaking as one of many, many people who game on both PC and console, what are you talking about?

Actually, nevermind, because it doesn't even matter.  The point is that the makers of the video did a half-assed job using variable criteria, which makes it rather meaningless.  I'd say it's less "pissed off" than it is "lol wut."

You think the average PS4 and Xbox One gamer, the majority of their sales, come from PC gamers or Steam users? Really? lol

What ...?  You didn't say majority.  You said "don't overlap much".  Why would you try to change your words now?  Don't do that.  It's dishonest and everyone can see what you said before, anyway.

Don't overlap "much"... is not don't overlap at all. I know SOME people game on Steam and on console. Just not much. Hense, "don't overlap much".

Which you then tried to retcon to "majority", for some odd reason.  Regardless, you really don't know anything, you're just making an assumption.  There is plenty of overlap between PC and consoles.  I know from the Steam threads that many gamers on these forums play on both.  Not that it matters much, as I've already said.

Of greater interest to me is how you completely avoided the main point of my comment.

Here, I'll repeat it for you:

There's your problem. People like us, the ones who actually interact on gaming forums, make up a tiny, fraction of the overall pie. You or I are a vast, vast minority, posting our opinions within a bubble. Don't think for a second that we represent the gaming public, we don't.
