Have mustards been feeding us lies?
>>

Steam has a fair amount of users who exclusively buy games on sale, which is why PC will never again be the lead platform in game development.
>>
They have. All of them are playing Dota and Cs though

wow, you're reposting my image
I bet it goes with a pic of console players, right?

you do have it, to make these outlandish statements, right?

>PC Gaming
>Not for casuals

I always find it funny when people try to imply this.

PC Gaming in many respects is for casuals. The reason for this is the biggest casuals of all are those that can only afford laptops and always end up playing crap like Dota or LoL, or some terrible MMO. These games tend to be the height of casual shit, and what's worse is that games like Starcraft or Diablo have dumbed themselves down to appeal to these people.

Say what you want about consoles and them being filled with casuals (because in many ways they are) at least they do not possess the turbo casuals that make up the majority of the "PC fanbase".

These are people that will not play anything besides LoL, DotA, or Starcraft. On rare occasions they might play indie shit, or Minecraft. Sometimes they might boot up CS:GO or TF2, but usually they stick with DotA/LoL. They are the biggest casuals of all time and make playing on the PC that much worse.

How does it make it worse for you? Why do you even care?

PC gaming isn't restricted, plebbies with toaster laptops can have their assfaggots and you can have your whatevers.

You know why PC gamers are so vocal on the internet?

Because they don't really play video games,definitely not on launch so they shitpost all over the internet or watch youtube/twitch whatever.
>>
>>320030753
Console gaming sucks because of lack of games and shitty software and things like paid online

PC gaming sucks because UGH such toxic community so elitist :(( lel fedora meme
>>
Do people unironically believe in this console vs pc shit?
>>
Bungie got it right with Destiny

Why bother with PC at all? Seriously what's the point when you can focus on the consoles, that's the mainstream gaming audience that you want.

I'm actually surprised that so few developers do this.
>>
>>320031017
anon, it's not vocality, every single census poll shows that most of us are pcfags
>>
>>320030769
Not suprising, since a good portion of people with gaming PC's will also have either a 7th or 8th gen console as well, and they already played GTA5 two years ago, and couldn't justify buying it again.

>B-but nobody buy games on PC!
>Devs coming back to PC in masses like never before, tons of japanese games being ported
>-B-B-BUT

>>320030189
PC user here, I don't even want to buy GTAV. I think Rockstar is a despicable company that hates customers. Fuck them. Not giving them any money.
>>
>>320032884
and they are not selling

hell you're still treated like a second class citizen getting release YEARS late
>>
>>320033768
they're not selling, that's why more console AAA games are coming to pc than ever in history.

ayy lmao.
>>
Steam problem is that there is too many games to play.
It's why games die so quickly.
>>
>>320033913
why arent you saving them ? they're all good games
>>
It must suck that you brand loyalty has so little value that you literally get cĂșcked for a few thousands of sales.
>>
>>320028613
>I thought Steam had a gorillion users
it does
>who buy games?
no they only play dota and CS
>>
>>320033768

You logic is like you PS4 game library.

>brand new AAA game

again what is the point?

They don't buy/play games so stop making them ports
>>
>>320035272
well obviously they do buy games otherwise companies wouldn't increasingly support PC lately like they're doing now
>>
>>320035272
That game is shit. Literally CoD with Rainbow Six slapped on it. Man, I remember back in the day where Rainbow Six was actually a tactical shooter. What a joke.

That game is a disgrace.
>>
>>320035272

>$60 multiplayer only

Only dead cause people are finally waking up to this bullshit.

I'd get it at 20 bucks or so, but not fucking 60.
>>
>>320035272
PC was the lead platform for Siege

>>320035959
I'm so happy the 60$ MP games are coming back.
Only the retards don't realize.

>The N64 and PS1 Rainbow Six games weren't a disgrace
Thank you Clancy

Can you explain why? If it's something like "keeps the BRs and ruskies out" 20 does that just fine.

to be fair SF4 is something like 7 years old, anyone who remotely cares about it is either playing it competitive or really likes SF

- Dedicated community, no more "I'm playing that game because I have no mental discipline and I must get that new skin/hero" bullshit, there's only people who enjoy the game.
- Clear increase of the player and population quality
- For Rainbow's case, 1 year of free content and updates, no season pass bullshit. (There's one actually, but it's only a useless booster, all the content will be available)
- Keeps away the hackers. There's a reason why CSGO never goes under 50% and even so it fails to keep the hackers at bay. 60 + the price of the hack is too much for the kids so they go elswhere.
- You can have most of these games for 35/40 bucks tops in the good retailers

It's beautiful, it's pure darwinism.
Poorfags and retards are kept away, meanwhile I'm having good fun and nobody else bother me.
The problem though, is companies like EA make you pay 40 bucks + mandatory season pass, that's scumy, but still better than F2P.

Even blizzard is going this way with Overwatch, and you REALLY think I'm gonna miss those people who says "TOO EXPENSIVE NO BUYING"? Aha.
And for the online population, you don't need 500k players to have games, hell 1k players is enough if the matchmaking is well done.
>>
>>320037282

You have solid points, but I still think 60 is too much, we could meet at the middle at 40 which happens to be Overwatches price as well.

It's official that GTAV has at the very least one million sales on steam.

Go on good keys site.
Just Cause 3 was available at 35 bucks before the game was even released.
