Consoles are shitty proprietary boxes owned by losers who actually regress art and gaming. The world would be a better place if everything was made PC in mind. Mods and emulation forever!
Counterpoint is of course gaming started with arcades and then consoles at a time far before the modern windows experience was a thing. I agree with this completely but this should have happened in mid 2000s at the earliest which also means at that point how would you argue that playing a game on Windows XP with shitty DX9 graphics was realy all that better than a PS2 game?
Things are different now clearly, I think the industry turned to shit around the PS3 era, the whole thing with backwards compatibility was the crossing line.
They really are. Like I see people arguing "oh it's the cheap option, it's the people's treatbox" when it's like having a dedicated treatbox in the first place is a decadent luxury. PCs are tools, they're actual productive capital, and one that's competitive with/better than a dedicated treatbox that produces nothing and can only be used for treats is barely more expensive than it.
The solution is to have a computing cluster underneath each public housing block that people can draw from according to need be it for entertainment or productive uses

Imagine if Nintendo released stuff on PC and it worked on Linux.

arcades are the original microtransaction garbage
