    To the contrary, the vast majority of all games that exist do not require a robust system. Especially given the rise of microtransactions.

    Don’t lose sight of what games in the world are actually the most popular. It’s not high-end stuff. It’s Candy Crush and shit.

            No, I’m expressing my point that the main reason PC gaming is so much bigger than console gaming is because the number of available machines is many times higher. Someone replied that most PCs are not specced to play games. I countered by saying most games don’t require strong specs, because the most popular games are almost always garbage.

            League of Legends is my current example since apparently Candy Crush didn’t adequately communicate my point. There are plenty of other examples I could come up with if my point is still not understood.

            Why is this so bothersome?

                The vast majority? That’s just not true. Probably 10%. The issue here is you seem to think the good games are the popular/most profitable ones. I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect. VNs, MMOs, gambling games, etc. All that shit exists, is profitable, and is popular. Yet your focus seems to be on high end stuff for some reason. I am not the one cherry picking.

                I played many on shitty office hardware back in the day.

                Mobile games being different I’ll grant.

                edit: I think I get it, this is just a “PC master race” thing, isn’t it? People are upset I’m not doing the circlejerk thing and pumping their egos for them. I’m too old for that bullshit.

                Do you remember farmville?

                Also, most of those high end games? Also available on console. It’s the weird, not-high-end stuff that is usually unique to PC, with a few exceptions.

                    This post is about PC gaming having a larger market share than all consoles combined. And my list is 10x the size of yours, easily. High end games are not even close to most of them, and also are subject to financial failure.
