We’re all split apart into different platforms but that’ll probably change again for next-gen (I moved from PS4 to PC once Soyny got woke and started censoring games).

Hope you stick around. :)

PC master race here... but I also own a PS4 and a Switch.

I think you will find most people on this sub own multiple systems and the discussion is about gaming in general, not any specific subset.

I'm 100% PC myself - built a mid-range system some time last Fall, and with even many console exclusives becoming available on PC in some form or another, I'll probably stick with it, make incremental upgrades as necessary rather than drop a full stack on a new console.

Besides, with the obligatory massive Steam library backlog I currently have, I don't even want to think much about new games coming out.

I just bought the Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy from the Steam Summer Sale, and it's a nice bit of nostalgia with just the perfect amount of difficulty.

I'm Bi (Xbone and PC Master Race)

Im On Xbone and PC but i mostly play Switch

PC and Nintendo Switch for me!

PC Master race ftw! Own all of the current gen consoles for exclusives though.

xbox and pc for me

Personally, I'm one of those weird Linux-only PCMR peoples.

I finally had enough takehome income to start affording consoles and such right about the time that consoles lost all advantages to me.

Consoles used to be about a couple of things, for me:

1. More powerful for the money, partly because people could write to the specific hardware, partly because of more esoteric (but effective) architectures, partly because they were often sold at a loss.
2. You could buy something and play it and come back to it, and the company can't just decide "nope, time to remotely remove it so people get the new shiny instead"
3. You can buy something and play it and the company can't 1984-retcon things out from under you.

And now...

1. Consoles are essentially just the same PC architecture as everything else (Exception of Nintendo, though they have other issues.). With more lockdown and higher-level SDKs required, making it difficult-to-impossible to write to the hardware, so you lose that advantage too. And the scales are such that you don't even really have the advantage of economies of scale, as they are just using, well, pc parts.
2. Everything is internet-required now. Good luck playing Driver: San Francisco, for instance. Meanwhile, I still play Stars! sometimes via wine.
3. See 2.

So, consoles lost me. I don't bother. I'm purely PCMR now.

(That all being said: this is all me-centric. And I have no issues with discussions of xbox / etc / etc.)

You guys have your own language! It’s cool.

Jargon is the term :-)

I’ve got pretty much every console except the Wii U, but mostly I play PC and PS4, with Switch coming in 3rd.

I prefer PC, but the also enjoy the convenience of a console and the portability of a switch.
