    But there’s people who don’t play on pc. That’s a pretty crappy thing to say. ‘i don’t care about it unless it affects me.’
    I console game, cause I grew up on consoles, I can’t do the whole sitting in a pc chair thing. There’s more than just people who play pc. And if it’s on pc only, that is pc exclusive.

      Picking up a console means locking yourself down to (and supporting) a platform designed around creating exclusives. PC games aren’t locked down and can work on a much wider range of hardware and even operating systems.

      I use my PC almost exclusively from the couch with my OLED TV. Sometimes from bed with a tablet on a flexible arm via Sunshine/Moonlight.
