How come PC gamers don't buy games?

How come PC gamers don't buy games?

PC gamers constantly whine that all they get are PC-ports ever since Valve killed off the golden age of PC-gaming, but if PC-gamers actually bought games all the devs and companies would make games for PC players.

PC gamers are pirates, and usually steal games they play. That's why only games like visual novels and autists games like Factorio are profitable on PC.

If they didn't buy games then exclusives wouldn't be dying. also PC isn't limited to KB&M. It can use any input method. Cope and sneed.

yes you're right op nobody on pc has ever bought a video game and the whole industry runs on hopes and dreams

How come console gamers ask so many questions about us?

james is literally retarded just sayin

was easier to pirate than consoles so it became a stable at poor countries.
you can still see the effects off that by free to play games that can run on anything you can find from gutter being most played games

You just got raped.

thread becomes really quiet after this.

Consoletrannies...

Yea i also bought that one 1 dollar bundle which was like 5 games or something

Holy shit, consolecucks...it's over...

Hang in there sister...

you can get things cheaper on PC!

weird cope, enjoy paying $70 for games I guess

Valve killed off the golden age of PC-gaming

lol what
PC gaming was practically dead by the time Steam was introduced. If you walked into a GameStop in 2005 you'd be able to find maybe 5 PC games for sale relegated to an out of the way corner of the store.

I just dropped my estradiol bottle, I am literally shaking rn sisters...

Valve killed off the golden age of PC-gaming

Gabe was the only one who believed in PC gaming
Meanwhile literally everyone else was whining about piracy and dismissing PC

I was 90% a pc player only prior to the DRM shitstorm of the late 00s. After that, i just went to consoles, since all the new "PC games", were shit versions or bastard versions of games and genres I once loved, or just trashy pc ports. Pc gaming lost the identity that made it unique.

valve killed off the golden age of PC-gaming

valve literally created a golden age of PC gaming in the late 2000s

PC vegans actually ate up crapcom demakes

I bet 80% of these are ex snoys just chomping at the bit to play cinematic movies

every single good PC game was released before Steam became popular

every single game everyone praises and loves still today

the moment Steam became popular PC gaming pretty much died

"Valve saved PC gaming"

???

nooooo stop you can't just play street fighter, monster hunter and resident evil

you NEED to be playing bing bing wahoo

keep taking Ls, consoletrannies

source mods like fortress forever and garrysmod were literally the peak of dedicated servers and online gaming and it was a landscape that only existed because of the permissiveness with cuck licensing and encouragement of valve

we have higher standards than console slop on closed markets where they can get away with dogshit practices
its pretty simple

noo if you actually bought half assed slop dogshit games for 70 dollars they'd make more for you

I don't want more, I don't want the ones you're making already retard. Make good games - this includes their performance and writing unfortunately for you - sell them at reasonable, cheap prices.
Why would I ever buy your dogshit that can't meet this when I can instead buy a game on the same store for <10 dollars that meets the criteria at any given time?

You just buy different games for PC than you would for console.
You don't need to buy at steam.
What really killed PC games was the console form factor of physicals.
Bring back bigbox marketer. Console owners will love them, too.

Says the guy who hasn't been a gamer since the SNES

nintendo out of nowhere

Struck a nerve

ah the console baby sour-grapes pretend moralizing as if you actually ever genuinely cared about piracy

nintendo out of nowhere

bro, you cried snoy out of nowhere where simultaneously calling people PC vegans. who else???

I read things as part of my work, does this mean I can't read books for leisure?
I've had a lunch meeting before, does this mean I can't eat things I enjoy?
I talk to people every day at my job, does this mean I can't enjoy a chat with my friends?
I've had to drive places as part of work, does this mean I can't enjoy a nice cruise?
This guy is literally retarded if he thinks that's a good argument.

How come PC gamers don't buy games?

Ancient bullshit meme.

Idorts, like myself

See

But I bought ender magnolia and flipwitch: forbidden sex her yesterday.

James is a muppet pussy bitch

ONE single example

Yeah I'm sure you know better than every single gaming dev and company. They just make games for consoles for fun.

Hang in there consolesister...

ONE single

you can't count to two, anon?

yeah, idorts really love to call capcom games snoy movie games, scoff at things selling well on PC and shit on literally everything except nintendo. totally bro

ONE single example!!!

See:

file.png - 370x300, 23.13K

sony saying they are making low effort ports because it makes them money

yeah?

PC objectively buys the most games though
all the consoles combined only manage a few percent more for buying games

solution to DRM is to switch to pure DRM machines

quite the tactic

sony just releasing their exclusives on PC for fun

gow.png - 942x591, 859.72K

More PC exclusives get ported to consoles than the other way around. That's because PC gaming is dying. Just stating facts.

it's dying so all the devs are releasing their games on PC to the point sony broke their exclusivity policy

interesting business strategy

Sony can make a quick buck taking 3min making a shitty PC part

"OMG PC IS SO ALIVE WE CAN PLAY DECADE OLD PORTS NOW!"

Steam saved PC gaming

why?

because now we can play decade old console ports on PC

I never got this argument.

Bro, you only got AoE2 because M$ own xbox and want the game to be on gamepass. Factorio on Switch is a practical joke.

completely kill the benefit of having exclusives on their console so they can make a quick buck

naruhodo...

PC gamers who play PC games don't usually whine about ports because they either don't care or they can wait
Anon Babble is not representative of games as a whole, not in the slightest
the most vocal examples of a group are more often than not the worst examples
please exercise basic reasoning skills in the future, faggot nigger OP

PC gamers do buy games. As always it's corporations using dumb useful idiot fanboys and third worlders to push for more control over the gaming space which spurs this idea that PC gamers don't buy games or pirate everything. Previously the solution to this was locked down walled gardens like consoles but now the tactic is harsh DRM. I mean it's easy as fuck to pirate everything without Denuvo yet most first world players don't do it, piracy and a substantial loss of sales don't correlate. It's always third worlders and then corpo fanboys/idiots that push for DRM to fuck over the legitimate purchasers. That's why you should always support publishers who publish DRM-free games, or at least in this day and age, publish without Denuvo -- because they're trusting their consumers not to violate the terms of the license agreement without anally raping them. That's how the relationship between consumer and creator should be, but unfortunately brown third worlders abuse this then the corpo fanboys start simping for DRM (previously console exclusivity) to stop those devilish third worlders.

PC before steam was fucking atrocious to deal with

Lust provoking image

insert CD

install game

click icon and start game

yeah so awful, thankfully we now have an always Online DRM platform where you don't even own your games on which single handily killed off PC gaming.

zoom zoom continues to zoom zoom

you should tank God you didn't have to deal with pre-steam DRM

You mean the DRM a very few games had and those game got shat on endlessly because of that?
Yeah I didn't experience that because it was so few games that did that.

now pretending to be an oldfag

lol

it was almost always just using a CD key that came with the game.

Yeah clearly the guy that screams buzzwords and says shit that wasn't true is really the oldfag here

insert CD

install rootkit DRM

steam killed PC with DRM!!!

bro, take this

s-l1200.jpg - 1000x1000, 39.52K

There's nothing to play on PC.

All of the best games- Zelda, Mario, Pokemon- are all Nintendo exclusive.

And no, you can't just '''''emulate'''' them, because it's cheaper and easier to just get the legitimate hardware.

see Why do zoomers think that PC games before Steam was infested with DRM. Did some youtuber tell them this or something?
I can't think of a single PC game I've owned that had some DRM program or rootkit.

you can't-

i can

but-

i can

Back in my day people at least tried with their bait

All of the best games- Zelda, Mario, Pokemon- are all Nintendo exclusive.

do people like this really exist?

what the fuck is a steam?
come on landlubber, we're hitting some real booty

s-l1200.png - 1000x1000, 1.34M

Considering how NO ONE plays PC... I would say most people do.

Baldur's Gate 3 was some massive succes for PC gamers after selling ten million. Zelda sold twice that, and for ten dollars more, on top of everything else that came out that year.

Scarlet and Violet outperformed Elden Ring.

How come PC gamers don't buy games?

cuz nu games are ass and way overpriced.
if a game is over $15 and under 400h long its an instant pirate from me

PC is not in competition with consoles and it isn't a brand. I know this concept is foreign to you since you love corporate cock so much but please stop trying to drag it into your console war faggotry. I don't care what color team you're on.

We know for a fact Monster Hunter Rise, the latest traditional entry in their biggest franchise, sold the most on the Switch.
The reason why Capcom’s other bigger titles like Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remake aren’t selling well on the Switch is because, well, they aren’t on the Switch. Not natively at least.
Once the Switch successor comes along (might be 2035 at this point), you’ll see a massive change in those numbers.

See

See

b-but but but that's different!!!!!!

It's not. Consoles take more PC exclusives than PC takes from consoles. This is because PC is dying, factually. Your personal opinion on the quality of these games is irrelevant.

See

exclusives aren't the reason to own a PC, sorry your console brain never picked up on this

PC is not in competition with consoles

Then it shouldn't make you mad that PC loses more exclusives to consoles than consoles to PCs.

He's absolutely a sped.

exclusives aren't the reason to own a PC

Agree to disagree.

the reason to own a PC is because you can effectively play all games
it's irrelevant that someone else can play them too, this is what console babies worry about

the reason to own a PC is because you can effectively play all games

Can't be true because PC doesn't play every game.

You're drooling mongoloid retard.

Then it shouldn't make you mad that PC loses more exclusives to consoles than consoles to PCs.

You're right, it doesn't. Because PC is missing out on like 3 or 4 exclusives between current gen xbox and PS while consoles lack every other game not native to their system.

you can genuinely count the games it's missing on your hands

Glad we agree PC doesn't play every game and your prior point is false.

effectively

words have meaning but i guess you're going to die on the hill of

PC can't play destruction allstars so you lose!

PC loses more exclusives to consoles than consoles to PCs

This is an outright lie. PC has tens of thousands of exclusives that will never ever see a light of day on consoles, and we keep getting hundreds more on a weekly basis.

inb4 ""b-b-but muh AAA mainstream slop!!!"

Not an argument.

Can't be true because PC doesn't play every game.

Even a mediocre PC can run 99.9% of ALL video games ever created. Meanwhile, no console can run even a quarter of that, and generally is limited to its own limited library. Maybe to the prev-gen console's games too if there's a backwards compatibility.
You won't run Breath Of The Wild on Switch, though.

Nice. Then my xbox effectively plays ever game. And my switch effectively plays every game.

using the word effectively wrong

so you don't know what it means, got it

This is an outright lie. PC has tens of thousands of exclusives that will never ever see a light of day on consoles

Consoles have more exclusives that PC doesn't have. You need to pirate or emulate to get them. And if this is the case PC has even less exclusives because consoles have piracy ad well. I'm so sorry for you.

You did actually. I just copied your mistake.

the retarded emasculated loser? yeah that's the guy I want to quote.

99.9% is effectively all
0.1% is not effectively all
now you know how to use this word, jamal

I'm just glad you learned for the first time today that I play more games than you, because I have consoles and a PC. I literally have every game.

You know, I feel like you might have had some kind of point 10 years or so ago, but as it stands I can't even remember the last time I heard about a game not coming to PC. Did the current generation even have any?
Maybe I'm out of touch but I have no idea what people play on playstations or whatever these days. I bought a PS3 to play Metal Gear Solid 4 many years ago. I haven't had any reason to think about consoles since then.

except i was an idort up until this gen
but you enjoy your destruction allstars and astro bot

And F Zero 99. And Bloodborne.

:)))))))))))))))))))))))))

but i own a switch and unfortunately ps4?
tick tock on bloodborne by the way

tick tock on bloodborne by the way

And ticktock on 100s of PC exclusives finding their way to consoles because PC factually surrenders more exclusives than consoles

;)

okay, good for you
PC still has nearly every single game in existence and that number of games not on PC only shrinks with time

Weak bait, but I've legitimately known Toddlers with better taste in games than you.

PC still has nearly every single game in existence

And PC + consoles has literally every game in existence

^_^

Valve saved PC gaming

that wasn't part of my post. The point was that they couldn't kill what was already dead.
We're I to make a statement about what they saved, if anything, if be something like "Valve saved us from the SecureRom shitshow."

Also,

every single good PC game was released before Steam became popular

Steam as you know it didn't start until the 2007 or 2008 time frame. Take a look at when all those pre-steam great games released. Take alook at their relative financial success, too. There's a notable void of worthwhile releases in the years before Steam made PC distribution viable again.

There's plenty to Valve for, by establishing the PC marketplace as we know it certainly isn't merited. When I see that I generally have to assume, generously, that the person wasn't playing PC games in the 2000s. Or, more likely, isn't old enough to have experienced it.

Consoles have more exclusives that PC doesn't have.

Name them.

You need to pirate or emulate to get them.

Moving goalposts. As usual.

And if this is the case PC has even less exclusives

Again: PCs gaming library spans all the way back to the early 1980s. Majority of that is not on any DIGITAL store front, so of course you wouldn't even know about them.

You are getting baited by a retard.

Consolebabs...our response?

Allowing retards run free and spew nonsense will only create a new generation of retards that grew thinking that the OG retards were the majority and being serious.

that ship has long since sailed

Piracy is for poorfags.
There are like 3 good games a year MAYBE.
So If I buy three new games thats like 180 dollars.
Thats fucking peanuts, I spend that much on a single meal at an ok restaurant. if you really cannot afford that you should reassess your life. But you won't and that is why you're a poorfag loser lol.
Also in regards to the image James is right, the only genres where KB+M is better are strategy and FPS. Everything else controller mogs it. He doesn't play FPS games.

Why would I spend $180 on something I can get for free, and spend that money on something ELSE I want?

Piracy is for poorfags.

Is that meant to be some sort of "gotcha!" thing?
Sounds like (You) are oddly mad at people downloading (Your) shit games for free....

There are like 3 good games a year MAYBE.

Hasn't been a thing for the past ten years, tops.

So If I buy three new games thats like 180 dollars.

he pays 60 bucks for bidya james

Spotted the console-shill.
Only a literal brainwashed retard buys ANYTHING day 1, for full price this day and age. I don't recall the last time I'd paid over 30 bucks for vidya, and the previous time it got me the ENTIRE Yakuza franchise on PC.

I spend that much on a single meal at an ok restaurant.

Okay, rich fag. I do not have my entire month's food budget to waste on overpriced posh restaurants, because I actually pay my family's bills miself.

if you really cannot afford that you should reassess your life.

Culture and art should not be restricted to just those who can afford it, little shill bill.
It's also cute that viral marketers still cannot make up their minds whether PC gaming is "overpriced", or for "poorfags".

the only genres where KB+M is better are strategy and FPS.

And Sims. And point & click games. And CRPGs. And lightgun games. And modern over-shoulder "horror" games.

imagine Anon Babble without phone slop and console peasants

because you want to support the people who make your games?
its a fucking tiny amount of money. who cares.
but i guess youre a nigger or something because you have no regards for others

180 is your entire food budget for a month

you should stop playing video games and get a job you fucking pathetic loser LOL
If you have a family and you are THAT broke you're an abusive father and a piece of shit, you don't deserve to have a family you shell-of-a-man
what kind of man can't provide for his family?
are you a skill-less idiot or something?

because you want to support the people who make your games?

Weird assumption

its a fucking tiny amount of money.

Sure, but it's still money I can spend elsewhere lol

but i guess youre a nigger or something because you have no regards for others

I have plenty of regard for others, just not for massive multi-billion dollar corporations. Me buying Concord would not have stopped Firewalk shitting the bed

PTSD from mike's massive donger
i bet erin is the same way kek

why would you buy concord?
buy a game thats good so you can support the developers you like
but i guess the idea of doing something for someone else is alien to you since youre a nigger

if I buy it and don’t own it then pirating it isn’t stealing, simple as

buy a game thats good so you can support the developers you like

I do. But there are also games I want to play that I don't want to support the developers of because it's not worth their asking price.

but i guess the idea of doing something for someone else is alien to you since youre a nigger

very nice

This dude works.

Extremely brave, your post is an inspiration to us all sis.

why would he use both hands on the keyboard? is he playing ff11? no wonder that faggot thinks its work

Hmmmmmmm I wonder why the one platform that had the (admittedly unintended) ability to download a nearly-full beta build of the game and test it out months ahead of release, even in a broken, buggy state (well, even more than the game currently is) made the highest share of sales. Odd.

Nothing he said was wrong, my man.

why is she saying to be honest so much

2024 earnings for Ubisoft. PC only 2% lower than all console combined.
20% increase in 2024, guess people jumped ship from console this year en masse

I'm amazed it's that high for Ubi given they abandoned the major storefront on the platform for so long.

I'm curious to see what MH:WIlds ratio will be like since Sony paid for both early beta launch access + 3 day early launch access as well.

Why do people playing on a platform that makes it significantly easier to pirate games, pirate games more?

Are consolecucks really this fucking stupid?

Well played, Anonymous. Might I save your meme image?

Yeah, everyone knows Steam became a billion dollar company by going out and stealing gold and silver during the 17th century in wooden boats. Not buy selling vidya online.

Because they're stupid.
