Yeah and this is where the rub is I guess. On a PC you can pirate. On a PC you can easily mod. There’s a level of freedom that is not gated like on a console.
Historically, consoles have not been cost prohibitive so they’re more attractive.
“Wait, I can play God of War and I don’t have to pay $1500 for a PC?” (Let’s ignore the truth you can build a computer for much cheaper to play games many people don’t go that far)
So I’m with you, this is console gamers. Which goes back to my point this is PS (and will be MS and Nintendo soon enough) and industry is going to the death of physical media this is the sad reality. If they want to do that to save costs and have the added benefit to further control their gated ecosystem good on them. You always can go to PC.
I’ve been a console gamer almost exclusively for 15+ years now (aside from a handful of steam games I can run on a low spec old laptop). Are console gamers really this lazy + entitled?
I agree. Haven’t got a physical game in 20 years. But again i don’t play console.
Console gamers like their physical media. You own it. You can collect it, you can sell it.
