Wow, consoles being anti-consumer? Crazy.
Wish people would stop buying these 600 dollar bricks. Inferior hardware, anti-consumer nonsense, exclusive expensive controllers, forced to just live with the rushed production cycles and wait for fixes from on-high since you can't even use player mods, upgraded versions come out at arbitrary times and you have to just buy a whole new system if you want to play new games at passable performance, can't just swap out parts. Just awful. And then they know we're not gonna buy that crap, so what do they do? Release a highly desired title and then lock it behind the purchase of one of these awful things.
At least in a year it'll be on PC.

We can't all afford a $2000 PC every couple of years that requires constant maintenance and upgrading, sorry.Wow, consoles being anti-consumer? Crazy.

Only ever had one console at a time, and used it for it's entire life, never had to buy additional controllers, or upgraded models.
Luckily I don't have super sensitive eyesight that triggers me and gives me hives if the framerate drops more than 0.00000001 FPS below 60.


I have a gaming PC, Series X, and PS5 (so as to not miss any exclusives), but to be honest with the state of PC ports these days I just buy on either console/ almost always guaranteed to just work once you load it.
Plus, as mentioned, not everyone can afford a 3080 or higher, not to mention how just the video card that will equal one of those consoles probably costs more than the console itself. I think the latest Steam poll had the 1070 just now being the most used card when previously was a 1060.... For someone who just wants to play the latest games decently, consoles actually are a great deal.
PS5s are readily more available now compared to the last couple of years so people saying they cant get one now are just not even trying.
Console exclusives is one of the worst things to happen to games. It's up there with loot boxes. They ruin your choice of platform and after the exclusive period they barely make enough effort to port the games which leads to horrible releases. Buy a console and award them for this? No, don't think I will.
Console exclusives have been a thing since consoles came to be. Sure there have been ports here and there but this has always been a thing. You wont see a Mario game being played on Sony or Xbox console. While I agree that in a perfect world, we should all be able to play every single game on one platform, its so dumb how you guys are acting as if this is some new trend.Console exclusives is one of the worst things to happen to games.

I find it odd when people defend exclusivity deals still. Its not like the consumer benefits from this behavior at all.
I was excited to play the FF7 remake, however it took so long to come to Steam and I simply lost interest and still haven't bothered. So what would have been a sale ultimately turned into none, or possibly one at a deep discount in the future.
Makes sense to me, Americans only want football and guns so it wouldn’t fit on Xbox, switch wouldn’t run it, and pc gamers are too busy hive-minding on the latest tik tok twitch shit or whatever, so by clever deduction on ps5 remains
