Consoles will never die because companies would still want closed hardware to be sure games won't be pirated at least two years from console release so they can get money from games.
And custom hardware doesn't mean much. If it's cheaper to produce x86 closed machines, industry will produce them.

There, I have disproven at least a part of your argument, thus you have to correct your original argument to reflect it. Remember.. "...any of this"
>>323042739
Intel/AMD, nVidia/ATI shitposting would intensify tenfold.
The opposite will be what happens, since you pcfaggots only pirate games or buy them when they are at a insultingly low price (to the dev) and with tablets and smartphones taking over the space that PCs had in most people's life (browsing internet, games etc). PC will become a platform for small devs to make a name for themselves mostly, it already started with CDPR, Mojang, etc.
In a decade or two PCs will literally only have indies, every dev that actually wants to make money will release games on consoles only. In fact in a decade or two PCs won't even be a common household item I bet, it will return to its old status of being a machine for working.
>>323045548

you know, it's the devs themselves who set the discount
>>323044368
Sometimes people just post things you don´t want to read (more than usual, i.e. anything at all) because they simply are disgusted by undereducated shitheads like yourself.
Not everything that extolls something´s virtues is shilling, not every mention of something is a meme.
Learn some new words, it is impossible for you not to benefit from things like these.

They would pick phones over pc since they can charge normal people microtransactions. It isn't about if they need to water down a game it's about how much money they can make

>>323045740
If you made pies, that you know are worth $8 or at the least $5 (a fair discount) wouldn't you feel insulted that to be able to sell a pie that you made specially for a segment of the people in your area you need to sell it at $1 in even though it cost the same to make as the $8 pie that everyone else bought. And no one else can buy this $1 pie because it's some niche pie that needs a special fork or whatever make this part up yourself.
You still lower the price $1 because $1>0 and you need money, but sooner or later you'll probably stop making that pie especially when less and less people have that special fork
>>323046485
>steam monopoly setting absurd prices
it's the publishers that set the prices and the discounts

nvidia is the jewish one here. Meanwhile, amd is the one trying to set much more open standards that is not nvidia proprietary bullshit

Now see, if the game were multi-plat, it would be judged actively as the game itself and no by what it's on. As is, nobody except rich fags and people with bad priorities can play it.And that's all they get to play.
>>323047197
Vents on the bottom on the back to windtunnel the airflow.
>>323042739
It would be fucking awful. The strength of PC is the elitism. We still get niche quality shit instead of watered down generic garbage like the consolefags do. We can pirate which forces user friendliness. If a game comes out missing half its content we know day 1, why do you think Destiny never made it to PC?
Consoles are for children, them having them keeps those children off our platform.

doesn't matter. you fags would find something to argue about. Probably nvidia vs ati or some shit.
>>323047291
Wouldn't it be great if it could get additional airflow from the side too? In addition to the vents on the bottom?
>>323047000
It's not a food analogy, its a business analogy I just picked pies because I thought you fatsos might better understand the point.
>>323046093
>>323046071
I already made an analogy for that but whatever that wasn't even my biggest point, my biggest point was that PCs are in their way to disappear from the household, and believe it or not lots of casuals also play on PC even if they don't have the specs to run the game well. About 3 or 4 of my friends bought FO4 for PC and they run it on lowest settings with sub 20 fps. Why? Don't fucking ask me but they do, and more than half the people that use Steam don't have rigs much better than what my friends have.
Your platform is dying, cherish it while you can
I can see Nvidia trying to make games outright exclusive to their cards
>>323047959
>videocard exclusivity.
They almost have it as is with some games. Certain games run like shit on AMD cards.
>>323047808
Seriously, though. Your analogy makes fuck-all sense.
>>323047534
This.
>>323047808
Seriously, though. Your analogy makes fuck-all sense. Besides, your "proprietary fork" comparison is much more applicable to consoles
>>323043135
What even is subtlety?
>>323042739
AAA studios have to get funded somehow. Console manufacturers are able to give them a lot of money, in exchange for having exclusive content/games on their console, which is good for the console manufacturers because they make a little bit of money off of each game that's sold.
Though, if PC gaming did take over, we might see instead of console manufacturers funding studios, it's done by API designers and other software developers. So maybe Epic games might fund a studio to make their game with UE4, but every game that uses UE4 has to pay a small royalty to Epic(That's actually how it works currently, though I don't know if Epic have ever funded any AAA games). So I guess it could work the same way if PC were the only platform.
>>323047808
>PC is dying
It's dying for casuals and retards that plague every person that managed to acquire the "that guy who is good with computers" title.
>>323047278
Did you even read the OP? If consoles died and there was only PC, there wouldn't need to be multiplats in the first place.
>>323048267
This is would be true of more people owned gaming PCs, but there are far more consoles out there than gaming PCs.
>>323049027
I seriously hope you enjoy indie games, that's all you'll get. But stay in denial, in time you will see that I was right
>>323042739
woah senpai that shit tier case and monitor slow down getting a heart attack here
AMD vs Nvidia
>>323049257
Oh please, don't speak of console as one big platform. The "proprietary fork" argument works so well against consoles because of how stratified it is. Want to play that old game from 5 years ago? Too bad, Gamestop doesn't stock them anymore. Want to play this other game? Too bad it's exclusive for that console.
>I seriously hope you enjoy indie games, that's all you'll get
I, for one, welcome the return of the AA development scene. The right balance of high enough budget for beautiful games and high enough passion for great games.

There's lots of room for innovation, but the majority of non-sustenance money transfer is for education and entertainment. There are over 19M fresh internet users per month. There's plenty of room for both.

It was different ages ago when your SNES could do SuperFX and Mode 7 and shit like that which your 386 rig couldn't dream of, but now every plastic box, whether it's a PS4, PC or Xbone has practically the exact same godamn hardware in it.
lol @ literally wanting a monopoly instead of competition
>>323043940
You know why you don't like it? Because you're a bitch. Fuck off if you don't like it. You're on the mighty 4chan-/v/. We're the asshole of the internet and proud of it
Yeah I'd love to live in a world where all gaming is dictated by Valve via Steam. They practically have a monopoly on PC gaming as it is, and you wish they were bigger? As in, literally the only place anyone buys games?
I'm sorry, I like PC gaming as well as console, but it has its own huge, glaring issues that you all seem to ignore while constantly spouting its up sides in relation to gaming on console.
>all games would become digital, you never have a physical disc with the game on it in your possession again, just the license
>Steam becomes absurdly more powerful and thus even more capable of abusing its user base, paid mods come back to stay, EULA changes and doesn't even try to be reasonable
>all those projects that could only have existed with console manufacturers picking up the bill never get off the ground
>without publishers really being a factor, AAA games cease to exist, which may sound good at first, but then
>indie survival Greenlight games become the new law, everything is indie, everything appeals to what gets sold the most via early access
The loss of console exclusive games would hurt the most. You tards don't ever think about it, but most of the greatest games ever made where paid for by console manufacturers looking for something to be exclusive to their shitbox. All those beloved SEGA titles, JRPGs, Nintendo games, ect wouldn't have existed had PC been the only platform from the beginning. Nintendo, Sony, and to a lesser extent, Microsoft, have given a lot of studios the chance to make the games they would never have been able to otherwise, because the console wars are a source of competition.
You think "without consoles, devs would just compete directly on PC, no hardware wars". You're very wrong. Look at how games "compete" on Steam as it is. Look at the kinds of garbage that wins. If anything this industry needs MORE, heated competition, more good exclusives across all systems, and more than a race for fucking second against Sony.
