Most guys I know play Xbox/PS4 and some mobile games. I know maybe a few people who play computer games on top of that, and plenty of people who just play mobile. PC games are generally seen as 1. extremely expensive since the cost of computers is high especially if you dan't build one yourself and 2. only for hardcore gamers. Most console gamers I know don't want to compete with the PC gamers, its like when I play Call of Duty and get slaughtered every single round but worse. The atmosphere is one in which you win at any expense, even that of the game being fun to play.
These perceptions may be wholly inaccurate but they will remain until demonstrated otherwise.
- saint_fiasco 11y agoComputers are not expensive. Many people use their work computers to play low-end games, and not too long ago, flash games were very popular and not just among hardcore gamers.
- ionised 11y agoThe price factor has always struck me as a case of not having enough information on PC hardware and game requirements (which is understandable if you only know console gaming). You don't need to go all-out on top-end graphics cards, processors, cases and watercooling to play PC games at a similar or higher standard (in terms of graphical quality and framerate) to consoles. A mid-range PC may or may cost a little more than a console but the fantastic savings that come from things like Steam sales mean you can for example, pick up 5-10 games over Christmas for a fraction of the price of doing the same with the XBox/Playstation versions of those games can mean it ends up being a lot cheaper in the long run. Of course, knowing about the prices of PC hardware and how to put together the best bang-for buck system is something you would have to consider. That knowledge is unnecessary with consoles.
