Escapism and cope

I've used PC all my life but I can see why. You don't have to think about anything technical, just hook it up to your TV and you're pretty much done. Now there are so many reasons to buy a pc instead of a console that I won't list them, but primarily it's just how easy it's perceived to be to set up and play.

Escapism and cope

well no shit
pc has better escapism and copes though so it doesn't make sense why people would buy consoles

It’s also simpler to choose and consoles are seen as more mainstream and NT

thats probably why normies obsess over consoles
i guarantee if there was a social stigma around video games all the companies stocks would dip hard
most normies don't care about games, its more of a social thing for them.

Last console I've owned was ps1, also the last console that could have been considered "good".
Got to be low iq to even consider consoles, especially nowadays.

Well this is a fact people don’t think about but with consoles you don’t have to worry about whether your game will run for the most part. All games made for that platform (except Cyberpunk 2077) will run with no issues. You don’t have to worry about checking minimum requirements or optimization on console. Just buy the game and play.

Played warcraft,

runescape mogs

I disagree. ps4 had so many GOTY material. Ghost of Tsushima is a masterpiece and then u have games like Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Uncharted 4, Spiderman. I got a Ps5 for these exclusives.

Yeah, the coveted 30fps zoomed in cinematic experience.

just play games that are basically movies theory

I’m not saying it’s good by any means. PC mogs to the oblivion and back, but not checking for minimum requirements is still an advantage either way
