    To be the Devil’s advocate, I’ve noticed that PC gamers are unpleasable, they all have different machines to optimize, they sometimes play a new game on their shit machine and give an unfair bad rating based on that, throwing off the review ratings, and something like %35 of PC gamers pirate their games. That honestly doesn’t sound like an attractive market to me 🤷‍♂️

      35% of players don’t pirate every game… Thats absurd. If you’re referring to the pc gamer survey from like 10 years ago, there was way more nuance to it than that. Go read more than the headline please.

      But even so, its not up to the consumers to bend over and be “pleasable”. Devs should treat the platform well, instead they shit out bad ports, they dont bother with basic options, they require more layers of launchers and stores, drm, kernal anti cheat, etc etc etc.

      The pc market is huge, even excluding people who haven’t upgraded in 10 years. Its plenty attractive

        It hurts, but PC gamers are the most toxic, unpleasable, tribalist gamers out there. This thread is proof. I’m getting a lot of hate and no actual facts. You debate my source numbers, but you provide none in return.

          Maybe that’s because you didn’t provide any actual fact yourself.

              I’m not a PC player but you start off attacking a whole group of people and wonder why they get upset about it. Take a step back and reevaluate your position.

      Love how you say that while ignoring that the difference between total sales and PS sales is topping the charts and hitting 20th place. But yes, let’s talk about the pirates some more.

        End of the day, a lot of people prefer consoles. I looked up the price of making a gaming PC even comparable to a ps5 or Xbox and it was easily double the price. And I don’t wanna hear about PC building, I could build my own car too but I don’t want to.

        You come home pop in a game and it works, and years later new games come out and they work! With PC you’re outdated within a year

          That alone shows you have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about, let alone the rest of the bullshit about PCs you’re spewing.

            And I’ll never want to learn because the toxic PC gamers just shit on everything, instead of being productive

              Bro, you’re the one shitting on everything here by being misinformed. But you take any critique of your opinion as hate and then get defensive af. Lol…
