Oh I fucking HATE this level of arrogance and entitlement. PC jackasses think the world revolves around them.
OK, here is why people don't just "get a PC"
1. They're considerably more expensive than most. As of today a competent PC costs around $1000 to build. That is considerably more expensive than a $500 console OR a $300 XSS.
2. They're intimidating. Its easy for PC jackasses who have years of experience to run games effectively who know what they're doing, but someone who is a novice its not so clear cut and dry
3. People don't want to deal with things like driver updates/maintenance.
4. You know that when you put in a disc and/or download a game it will work and be playable (Cyberpunk on last gen is a rare exception). That reason alone drives people to consoles.
5. Troubleshooting is a PAIN in the ass.
This is good.
1. They are considerably more expensive then a $500 console - but you’re also getting a fuckton more for your money, and not limited to those small game libraries tied to one company.
2. They’re not intimidating at all. The problem is the laziness in people who just want their thing, and don’t want to have to read or learn about the product they’re buying. Putting a PC together is easy as hell.
3. Ah, the ‘ol driver updates lmfao! What is it when your console forces a firmware update?? As if that doesn’t happen? I choose when to update my PC, with firmware updates almost always revolving around optimization for new games. You don’t seem to know much about PCs.
4. Yeah, you put a disc in and it “works”. That’s all you’re owed. Shitty performance be damned because if it’s bad, then you’re stuck with it.
5. Troubleshooting which isn’t as common as you’ll make it out to be, doesn’t happen often really. When it does, you do a quick search, and guaranteed the fix is there because someone else had your same problem. Not a big deal.
6. The world does revolve around us. What’s the common thing you hear during game announcements?
Coming to PlayStation

Coming to Xbox

Coming to Switch
and PC.
PC only.
We’re the largest group of gamers there is, and in more countries then consoles. I’ll gladly accept the PC Jackass moniker. Hee Haw Hee Haw brother!
