Console exclusives are anti-consumer, and bragging about buying them is downright insane.

Have sex
True
How are they anti-consumer?
you first
The consumer doesn't benefit from them and it actively hinders them from using it in a way that they could were it not locked to an individual platform.
Fuck Mc Donald’s and their burger exclusivity the same thing should be available everywhere because I am a big piss baby.
>muh food reference
First-party studio exclusives are fine. Third-party timed exclusives are cancer.
Imagine being at computers and so fat you look see food
Imagine if there was a company, who made screws that could only be screwed or unscrewed using their patented screw driver.
They would effectively enforce a sort of psuedo-monopoly because every bit of their product is only compatible with other products they produce on a market involving a range of applicable parts.
There is a reason they don't do this and companies who manufacture tools and building material all agree on a specific standard to share the market rather than autistically force the consumer to go down "their path" for all their needs.
This was what effectively happened with the advent of home PCs, where companies could basically invest into making hardware only function with their own for maximum profit and control over the consumer.
Eventually the government stepped in and basically enforced standards on hardware which is the reason why my AMD processors works with an NVIDIA graphics card.
For whatever reason, videogame consoles are essentially excluded from this. They of course have hardware within them from other companies that obviously adhere to the standard of compatibility but the machines themselves are still treated as entities where one is allowed to be the only machine to run certain software. There is no reason for this beyond aforementioned control of the consumer, or rather they want people to justify buying their console over others in order to play certain games.
Back when computers were very specialized hardware wise for specific tasks and you couldn't just "build your gaming PC" consoles made more sense, but as of today they are simply a holdover from an earlier time, existing because of consumer nostalgia and ultra conservative japanese business practices that cling dearly to outdated business models.
I agree if those exclusive are from a third party company. Nintendo should be allowed to have their games as exclusive for their consoles, and same with Sony and Microsoft since I view those as motivation to buy their consoles. Besides that yes, competition between consoles and PC stores should mainly be between services they provide, prices of their games, ect.
fatty
depends if they pay for the game or just pay for publishing
Literally the only reason consoles have to exist is exclusives, and first-party development allows for games that would otherwise not be made, or would have a much lower budget, and/or would have to compromise on their vision. You're actually advocating for less variety in the industry.
Bad example because every fast food place offers burgers. The competition for each of those places are the price of the burger, and the way they prepare it to make it look more attractive.
Pizza Hut sells burgers. Cool I am glad Mc Donald’s monopoly on the Big Mac has ended. Fuck unique experiences
Absolutely subhuman
dsg
You're an even bigger idiot than I though.
stop thinking about food and get a girlfriend you fat ince
>person using food as example calling other people fat
lmao
>i'm not fat u r
projecting fatty
>MUH FOOD ANALOGY
He made a tool and screw analogy, are you stupid and braindead?
>Console exclusives are anti-consumer,
No they're pro-consumer since most of the exclusives that are also great games, wouldve never existed if not for first party funding, since many of them are, or were initially passion projects.
>You're an even bigger idiot than I though.
>doesn't understand that Pizza Hunt chooses to not offer burgers so they're irrelevant to the topic
>doesn't get that console exclusives would be only having one fast food place to go to for burgers and not McDonald being the one place to have Big Macs
Yes he's an idiot.
>frogposter is a complete fucking retard
no surprise there.

It takes additional money and resources to develop cross platform you fags
Can you elaborate? Why is locking games behind multiple several hundred dollar machines a positive for the consumer?
I only buy consoles to pirate on them
worked for the ps3 and ps4
It's OK if they're 1st party exclusives.
last gen and in gens before that sum would be considerable, but these days with everything being based on pc architecture (and using cross platform middleware anyway) it's not significant
Absolutely true.
with loli cunny!
The commonly used engines are all easy to port for
What about pc luancher exclusives?
They aren't anti-consumer no matter how jealous you are about it
Give us your games now fuck Pc bros are worse than Nintendies for port begging. Remember when Pc had their own great exclusives what happened?

An enormous investment truly
Yes you must be a developer
Sounds like you got it locked down bro when you are done porting bloodborne can you do Spider-Man next thanks.
>can you do Spider-Man
Trash like that isn't worth my time, even if it's only 10 seconds.
risk of rain 2 just came out like 2 weeks ago bro
Wow very anti-consumer of you, no one cares about your opinion think of the consumer
a team probably would be willing to do that if they had access to the engine and code.
Oh shit your right I forgot. Still it would be nice to get back to more games actually designed for Pc first instead of just garbage that’s made for console.
>it's anti consumer that a ford dealership doesn't sell toyota
>a team
Nah my boy said it’s easy I have faith in his abilities.
literal brainlet
