Drop support for the PC version. It's holding the game back.

All in all, I think the biggest irony is gaming industry would have went kaput if it wasn't for console gaming overall - Arcades would have stayed around but PC gaming wouldn't have really evolved past Wolfenstein, Doom and Educational programs. So while there was a crash, it was a revived thanks to the newer generation of consoles and games on said consoles.

You do realize that PC gaming is still widely popular in Asian countries and still growing even when the decline of PC gaming in the West. Your logic is pretty much "if Edison didn't invent the lightbulb we would still be using candles". Guess what? That's not true, someone else would've invented it. The same goes with everything really. Progress would happen one way or another and the gaming industry would've still evolved with or without consoles.

Talk about missing the point. The PC has the 'advantage' of being able to run programs that are able to interact with XIV in unintended ways. Anyone whose read the various 'hunt radar' threads can tell you that. This is their argument against the PC, not the expense of it (my laptop spanks XIV 2.# and it's coming up on 2 years old) but the adaptability of it. You'd have a really hard time doing that on a console because of the way it's software operates and how you can't access said software without modding the console and potentially getting it blocked by the online service offered by the maker (unupdated PS3s can't use PSN being an example). The original post probably has a good PC, but you'd be stupid not to know that PCs are a breeding ground for game hacks.

Pro Tip: You can hack a playstation and cheat on it too.

I'll switch to console if OP buys me a PS4.

Let me know when you wake up.

Even though this thread was a joke. When you challenge some peoples beliefs it escalates into hate, and then all out war eventually. When the mentality exists that "you do not believe in what I believe in then you are wrong". You can not make simple jokes without repercussions.

Basically it proved which side tend to do the attacking, though.

This is the most ridiculous thread I've seen on this forum, and that's saying quite a lot.

That's a point. In fact there were several versions of electric lights invented before Edison's team; the main thing Edison accomplished was developing the technology to easily manufacture electric lights. (He was also an unscrupulous, credit-stealing jerk, but that's a secondary matter.) And the biggest recent gains in gaming haven't been on PCs and consoles anyway. Everyone say hello to their mobile device overlords. Regardless, PC gaming has seen a fair bit of a resurgence the last several years and i suspect part of that relates to backwards compatibility. PCs by default have it and can be backwards compatible with games that were never released on a PC in the first place, the horror!

Let's not forget who started this. We're here minding our own business and someone decided to start something. You don't see us shunning the ps 4 users because of their limitations and how it's affecting the game.
