The fact that developers have to cater to multiple platforms that have hardware limitations and different operating systems has led to worse quality of games of time. Console exclusives are anti-competitive, monopolistic, and they lead to a terrible consumer experience.

    I agree with them too, upgrading PCs has amounted to a new video card every 4-5 years and a new motherboard/CPU etc every 8-10 years. I’m not one that demands 120fps and 4k and all that though. Video cards are now more expensive but they also don’t need upgraded as often.

    Also games are cheaper on PC, with regular free giveaways. And we have a huge library, all the way back to DOS games via DOSBox and console and arcade emulators.

    And I play with controller on PC all the time for games like Forza Horizon, Elite Dangerous, and console emulators.

      Controllers are nice for certain games. On PCs you at least have options! I just can’t stomach playing shooters on a controller.
