Well consoles in general sucks and I feel bad for those who mainly plays on consoles.
Yes, I wrote that.
Imagine paying to play online.
There used to be a time where I'd
eventually buy most, if not all the console hardware to play their exclusives, but after the Ps3, Xbox 360, and Wii generation I've been completely apathetic towards them.
Even if the consoles were completely free, and the games identical in quality, I simply prefer the PC/Steam platform for the many advantages I'm sure everyone here is already aware of. Not to mention the era of consoles holding a plethora of exclusives is long over. Just about everything is coming to PC, eventually. As ridiculous as the idea of Microsoft and Sony releasing their games on Steam would have been only a few years ago, and here we are. You never know with Nintendo, but in the meantime emulation has been excellent.
I understand a lot of people just
prefer to play on a console, arguable disadvantages and all, and good for them. But if you don't
prefer to play on a console, there are scarcely few reasons remaining. The Switch's handheld form factor was certainly one, but now we have the Deck.
