You're cool. Sorry I jumped on you like that.

It's okay. I know how easily it is for PC gamers to come off as extremely arrogant. It's really hard to avoid from the perspective of a PC gamer.

The thing PC gamers don't get is, just about anyone who is smart enough to play games already knows the advantages of PC gaming. It isn't some closely guarded secret they need to go out into the world and evangelize about. There are advantages and disadvantages to both PC and consoles, and from there it just has to do with personal factors.

I get the impression PC gamers genuinely think they are doing the world a great service by announcing how much better PC gaming is and how poor of an experience console gaming is.

I hear about the expense of a gaming PC far too often for that to be true. People getting excited about the Xbox One when the reality is for 500 dollars you could build a better PC and not have to pay 5 dollars a month. Literally the only relevant factor in the decision if you indeed realize the advantages of PC gaming is exclusives.

"Literally the only..."? Well that is simply not true. Maybe I want to just rent games, play one over a weekend every now and then and return it when I'm done. Or maybe I want to bust through every game that comes out using a service like gamefly. Maybe I just want to be able to throw a disc in the console and be playing my game without long installation or loading times. Maybe I appreciate their simplicity and ease of you.

I can see why you think that, because you are viewing this from your own perspective and what works best for you. But everybody is different.

Yeah, some people are going to go out and pay $500 for an Xbox One, and many others are going to wait a few years for it to hit the $200 mark. What gaming PC could I have bought back in 2008 for $200 that would allow me to seamlessly play PC versions of all those console games released this year?
