but their quick abandonment of Steam Link after I bought it ticked me off,

Why? It still works, doesn't it? They didn't stop supporting that hardware, they just stopped selling the hardware when it came redundant, since a lot of other devices can do the job (iOS, Android, Raspberry Pis and many Smart TVs can run the Steam-Link-App).

I believe they stopped issuing software updates and bug fixes when they discontinued it. It was a sudden drop in performance for me around when they discontinued it. That's pretty coincidental.

Fanboys don't give (Actual) reasons to own a console. That's why they are fanboys. They speak on knowledge they no nothing about aside from trying to convince others based off brand loyalty. Gabe is a neutral customer to both brands and probably could care less out of either of them however this question is more to do with if he had to choose..

His sole focus is PC gaming.

Well Gabe gives no reason at all. Hes obviously not neutral. He hated the PS3 as well at first. Im sure he will come out at a PS5 event looking like a hostage again after a few years when he need Sony to sell his products though. 

You sound like you're already coming from a specific camp yourself, that you'd cite Gabe as some form of derogatory "enemy".

He doesn't ened Sony to sell what he's making on Steam. He's been doing fine for years now.

Who the H is that? Whoever it is, he looks completely at ease while speaking in front of an audience.

That sounds a bit dramatic, but he obviously has something against Sony. 

I dont really know why we are still talking about that though. All I said is that he sounds butthurt pretty much. I dont really care. I just thought the guy was more articulate and had learned a thing or two after the whole PS3 thing. Obviously not.

Tim Sweeney. The man who runs EG and EGS, while running his mouth on twitter 90% of the time.

I've yet to see Gabe set up his very own Twitter and run his mouth the way Tim does.

Then why the drama from your own end of the pool?.

Why does he sound butthurt for offering his choice in what box?.

He's learned many things for years, but he doesn't have to kiss and praise Sony's feet for whatever reason, Tim already does that and ppl here excuse that guy.

I just answered the people quoting me. I gave my reasons...unlike Gabe.

He could have said he thought the Xbox Series X has better games shown or is more powerful or easier to develop for or looks cooler etc..

Just saying "Because it is" annoys me. Thats just causing division for the sake of it. Its just petty and immature imo.

Yeah, but Gabe can say he just likes it. The only reason why some ppl want a more detailed reason, is likely to either head nod (which I find stupidly pointless, because same ppl already do agree with his choice, ergo, pointless to want or expect a head nod of agreement) or to argue his choice as being "incorrect".

The man probably likes the system for multiple reasons and cannot just choose one, like me and what I look for in a PC, I cannot just choose one reason.

The division has been here for years, decades even. What's him giving a slightly more in depth reason, going to do for divisions at the end of the day?.

I don't see how it's immature as to why he didn't give out a single reason. I Mean, Henry Cavill was asked which console he prefers and he came back with "PC", and it's been documented as to why he loves that platform, and we've seen a video of him recently putting one together, so you don't need much more beyond a short term interview, to know why he likes PC, just like how we know what Gabe does on the same platform, and why he loves tech in the first place.

Ok this is getting ridiculous now. I just think he could have worded it better. I didnt know you would go to these lengths to defend the guy. Lets just agree to disagree.
