I may be wrong, but I remember a lot of PC gamers complaining about console holding them down, and about the games exclusives to consoles.

I am referring to inhouse fighting, something console gamers do to each other every generation. I rarely.. if not never hear PC gamers argue or fight over little things like games. Probably because we are too busy playing the massive libraries given to us. Its all thanks to the accessibility. Console manufacturers want to lock up games so you and others cant play them which leads to fighting and arguing. Which is the modern gaming industry today, I cannot go on any forum, thread or channel about console games without some form of war, nonsense debate or comparisons.

You are referring to the typical PC Master Race fan.

Do you not see how hypocritical this post is? Even just in the fact that you are suggesting that console gamers are "in fighting" if they're having a disagreement between Xbox or PS4, there is as much connection between a gamer who likes the PS4 over the X1 as there is the Ps4 over the PC, don't think of gaming industry as Consoles Vs PC, doesn't work like that in the slightest, just because it isn't your camp of choice that doesn't mean that every other perceived enemy of yours automatically should love each other as a console ally, it's actually insane a way to think.

Would pretty much be the same if anyone who owned a Ps4 considered it "in fighting" if Switch/X1 and PC gamers were fighting among themselves. Stop creating a Them Vs Us battle in your head , that's not how things work in reality.

Wouldn't take 5 mins to find one of total biscuits sad rants about some game not being ported to the PC from consoles or crying because a game is also going to be on the consoles btw, would link one but his channel doesn't deserve the google metric.

Don't forget the complains of games exclusively on MS Store, or Steam or GoG, etc.

Oh aye indeed I had forgotten about the in fighting on PC as well of EA pulling their games for Origin, Activision for Battle.net or Microsoft deciding it wants to bury their games behind candy crush clones on the Win10 store :D

That counts as fighting? That's more like those companies deciding they want little competition and all of the profits, than it does fans using a storefront against one another (which sounds silly to begin with).

GoG also works via their own set of rules to operate their own store, which no one else follows but GoG.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Hey guys lets offer the choice to have no DRM versions of all the games.... guys..... guys? ..... okay

But not sure would you call it fighting, I know for a fact that my PC won't ever have Uplay or Origin installed on it.

Third parties want to be able to sell to the highest number of players possible. Unless some type of partnership happens giving some title exclusivite to one platform is involved, making AAA exlusives is not a smart move for third parties today.



Nah, some third party publishers are already struggling as it is.

That's their thing though. They only sell games from their store that are DRM free, which means all those AAA companies, like Ubisoft who love their DRM, means they cannot sell those games from their storefront, thanks to another company wishing to enforce their rule (which is clearly designed to benefit the company, not the consumer)

I chose not to install Uplay, simply based on the fact that that storefront lacks in the games I want to play, let alone the client missing out on features that Steam has had for years. That and most of those games sold by Ubisoft have multiple layers of DRM and aren't very well optimized, while also going for high prices. That all coupled together, just doesn't scream "must have" and "consumer friendly" to me. 

I only have Origin installed for Battlefield, Burnout Paradise, SW Battlefront, Titanfall 1-2 and the C&C Collection. It has some features that Steam has, but lacks others and their client is entirely web based, making it quite useless whenever internet connection is lost.

Third party games going exclusive would create strong divides and could quickly kill one platform and much more easily create monopolies.

Also it would not be good for consumers because if you buy one system, you don't know whether the games you love will be available on it or not, it will be a gamble and one I believe most people are not looking forward to.

First party exclusives are good enough, no need to push beyond that.



No. This industry benefits from games being playable on multiple platforms. Give players the option to play on the platform they want.
