Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Gaming consoles are holding back the gaming industry and console exclusives should be banned (self.unpopularopinion)

The fact that developers have to cater to multiple platforms that have hardware limitations and different operating systems has led to worse quality of games of time. Console exclusives are anti-competitive, monopolistic, and they lead to a terrible consumer experience.

pc upgrading pyramid scheme,

Lol no. The days of needing to upgrade your PC more than once every 7-10 years have been gone for a while

Once evey 7 or ten years???? Thats like a console lifespan. Im talking about having to stay up to date on latest pc hardware every year or 2.

And I'm specifically saying that is completely unnecessary and has been for years

Well as someone who doesn't have a gaming pc, that's how i see things. I could very well be wrong, but im not going to take the opinion of someone who says they dont see how people use a controller.

I agree with them too, upgrading PCs has amounted to a new video card every 4-5 years and a new motherboard/CPU etc every 8-10 years. I'm not one that demands 120fps and 4k and all that though. Video cards are now more expensive but they also don't need upgraded as often.

Also games are cheaper on PC, with regular free giveaways. And we have a huge library, all the way back to DOS games via DOSBox and console and arcade emulators.

And I play with controller on PC all the time for games like Forza Horizon, Elite Dangerous, and console emulators.

Controllers are nice for certain games. On PCs you at least have options! I just can't stomach playing shooters on a controller.
