Why do companies always treat PC as second class when sales and revenue are on par with consoles?

As a PC gamer I find this extremely unfair and it makes me want to pirate all their games.

Revenue isn't always necessarily on par with consoles however. The pc market is not one to ignore but there are enough differences with the console market to ignore certain games or niches.

Can you explain further? I remember seeing it had equivalent revenue to one of the big 3.

>As a PC gamer I find this extremely unfair and it makes me want to pirate all their games.
Gee I wonder why that's not counter-intuitive or anything you stupid fuck. I buy specifically so PC gets better support especially from Jap developers.

Maybe you should ask companies.

Consoles: 70-80% revenue
PC: 20-30% revenue, only when the game is successful.
While 30% is a considerable amount, consoles are the ones where the majority of profit is.

They all post here.

In a nutshell
>PC is for those with money to spend
>Console is for those with limited money to spend
>There are more who are poor than there are rich
>There are more who are impulsive (bandwagoners) than there are reserved (waits to have enough money for the quality they prefer)

Consoles will always outsell the PC platform, since that's where the demand is higher. Doesn't necessarily mean it's better than the other.

I can't really, i just said some shit that i feel sounds about right. I have no sources or facts.

>makes me want to pirate all their games
You'll do it regardless, which is why they either wait or never do.

I only pirate games that are overpriced, overpriced in my region, or from disrespectful developers, or include denuvo, or are exclusively on steam.

thats nice but post more maid boys

>That bullshit excuse
Your pirates are funny

What was the last game you brought that wasn't on sale?

So basically everything.

Poor people have an insignificant amount of discretionary spending power. They got no money. A small percentage of people have most of the cash to spend. Thus, lootboxes.

Factorio.
I reward devs who provide me with a good product.

who is this and where is their porn?

It's hilarious how you answer your own fucking question yet don't even realize it.

Nah, you're just a faggot who steal others' work while believing himself to be virtuous.

false

>here is a good product
>REEEEEE THE DEVELOPER IS MEAN AND YOU PUT IT ON STEAM THE MOST POPULAR PC MARKETPLACE

kys

Daily reminder that PC fags will be unable to upgrade their rigs for at least ten years thanks to the bitcoin frenzy.

>But it's a bubble and will burst any time soon
Nope.

>mfw i pirate any game i can
>mfw there's nothing moralfags can do about it
And i don't even need to try to justify it to anyone with some gay ass mental gymnastic like this faglord

But user, I enjoy the mental gymnastics, I know I'm full of shit.

...

Sup Forums is my favorite video game.

>Pirated everything for almost fifteen years, to the point where I played entire console generations / PC gaming decades without buying a single cent
>Since a few years ago, when I got a steady job and money, I pretty much stopped pirating and I've been buying everything I'm interested on
>I feel like if I don't buy games I'll endanger the industry.

It's a weird feeling.

I went the opposite, I used to buy dozens of games every year on steam, but now I've decided I've done my part.

Sony spend shittons of money to keep the control of the industry as their objective was always to get a monopoly on the consoles market and replace the PC. Of course it didn't work and now they're stucked facing a dwarf from the 80's doing crazy shits and Microsoft keeping the console market in a moderate size.

>expecting us to believe these statistics you pulled out of your large intestine

Maybe you just already "own" everything you want to play.
For example I think I'm only going to buy Code Vein and Ace Combat 7 this year and nothing more.

Nintendofag please.
Don't you have $80 cardboard to buy?

>crypto bubble
>lasting 10 years

kek. Their global market cap just lost 40% in 2 days. That shit will collapse in few months.

Because they want quick cash not long term revenue and pc is good at niches but bad at really generic crap

>or from disrespectful developers
This is some SJW tier shit.

Not even a nintenbro. Nintendo is completely irrelevant since the N64. Sony is just too incompetent too finish them.

Devs who delay PC ports
Devs who mistranslate games from jap
Devs who censor things

Not at all because rich people found that Cryptocurrency is the perfect "transfer money cleanly from one place to the other" tool.
When Crypto has highs is due to, for example, some Russian oil oligarch buying a ton of Bitcoin with his Siberian oil money. When Crypto has lows is due to said Russian oligarch selling his coins on the United States, getting almost all of his money away from his country and without those pesky taxes.
Miners and investors are just idiots keeping the scheme running.

Currency speculation is the only thing keeping the bubble going, cryptos are going to be around for a long time, but it's not going to be too valuable once the wall street retards fuck off.

>Devs who delay PC ports
Understandable given how PC is the only current platform with a piracy problem.

>Devs who mistranslate games from jap
Minor annoyance, not a deal breaker.
>Devs who censor things
Minor annoyance and while not a deal breaker it's understandable why the customer would feel insulted.

Nah, you're full of shit.

>Consoles: 70-80% revenue

Are you retarded? The xbox and ps4 aren't the same platform. They are weighted on their own. That's why you don't see nier on xbox or pubg on ps4. Which is why you get the same shitty performance and framepacing issues like on prey. The only difference is that pc users complain about that garbage while console users don't and make a big deal out of every little thing.

They're not treated any differently overall other than when sony or ms pay to delay games the same way certain games are delayed on ps4 or xbox. Console users don't complain about shit performance they just swallow it up like they did paid online. Also pc doesn't have an owner who can pay devs to keep shit off other platforms which is a good thing because that's what makes it open enough to prevent paid online and emulating other systems even if it means we have to wait a bit when the contract wars happen like they did with destiny 1.

Because you pirate their games anyway

The Wall Street "retards" will never fuck off.
You gave them a powerful tool that they'll use to become even richer. You paid for it with your money and your mining.

90% of wall street are retards, and they will fuck off, they always do.
Just like with the dotcom bubble.
They're the ones "investing" in bitcoin.

I got no problem with the top of the market money laundering, jews gonna jew.

same but i stopped caring and mostly pirate the few games i play anyway

They aren't investing; they're speculating and making big money with it, like with the dotcom bubble. Of course they're going to leave it at some point, when the thing it's about to bubble and they earned all the money they could from it.

If you want to believe yourself to be smarter than the men able to bankrupt entire countries and flee rich and unharmed, go ahead.

The people who bankrupt entire countries and flee rich and unharmed aren't most of wallstreet.
The majority of wallstreet are dumb as fuck retards who leech off of those people, and can only predict the movements of the market, but not the movements of reality that determine the market.
The top of the market takes advantage of them all the time, but the only reason they even can is because the retards allow them to get away with it.

Comparing the top of the market to the majority of the market is like comparing a classically trained stoneworker to a modern artist.

Which games do you like?
