>These people dont get how pretty much 95% of all games people like to discuss on here, and especially outside of here, exist only because of consoles.
That's a nice delusion and all, but the only reason consoles exist is because they're an easy way to put a leash on consumers because the industry hates the piracy boogeyman and used game reselling.
If consoles didn't exist, your beloved games would simply come out on the PC.
Literally the industry standard in game engines since 3D graphics became a thing, Unreal Engine, allows you to compile for any platform. There's no reason at all anymore why games should come out on consoles at all. All they do is hold back progress. It's 2017 and consoles still struggle with 1080p which was introduced 11 years ago.
You buy your shitty console, say, a PS3, it breaks, you gotta buy it again because there's no backwards compatibility. PS4 comes out, you buy it because PS3 games aren't coming out anymore and you end up with a paperweight that's not going to survive the next 5 years and your whole game library = useless unless you go on ebay and buy a new PS3.
You only get yourself locked down to a platform like Apple locks down their customers to iCloud, iTunes and the App Store. These people won't switch to Android or any other platform because all their money they invested is with Apple now.
When Steam goes under, I can just download all the games, crack them and play them for years to come. If CPU architectures (or anything, for that matter) change again, I can just emulate the games that no longer run. If a game's official servers close, someone inevitably will reverse-engineer it to run custom servers. You faggots can't do that because you're slaves.
You can't even play PS2 games on your PS3 without buying them again on PS Store, you cucks. And nintendo is pulling the same trick on you again with the Switch.
