35% of players don't pirate every game... Thats absurd. If you're referring to the pc gamer survey from like 10 years ago, there was way more nuance to it than that. Go read more than the headline please.
But even so, its not up to the consumers to bend over and be "pleasable". Devs should treat the platform well, instead they shit out bad ports, they dont bother with basic options, they require more layers of launchers and stores, drm, kernal anti cheat, etc etc etc.
The pc market is huge, even excluding people who haven't upgraded in 10 years. Its plenty attractive
It hurts, but PC gamers are the most toxic, unpleasable, tribalist gamers out there. This thread is proof. I'm getting a lot of hate and no actual facts. You debate my source numbers, but you provide none in return.
Maybe that's because you didn't provide any actual fact yourself.
No I did, but facts don't work on emotional people like you
I’m not a PC player but you start off attacking a whole group of people and wonder why they get upset about it. Take a step back and reevaluate your position.
