PC gaming is literally the source of just about everything wrong in modern gaming. While they kicked out anything niche or even universally popular to sanitize and appeal to "wider demographics", they simultaneously started doing things to appeal to the most insufferable manchildren. These manchildren used to be contained to a few PC games, but have flooded everywhere and contributed hugely to the enshittification of gaming. Now you have lootboxes, yellow marks, bloat slop, reddit judeo-atheist values, roving tranny harassment gangs, gtx 1080 and higher requirements, movie games, a non family focus, pavement ape praise, built in estore jannies, social messaging, unfun designs, soulless UI, fag pandering, and SO MUCH MORE.

They said it's easier for them to first focus on PS5, then port to Xbox, then finally PC rather than the other way around. Otherwise you get a buggy launch across the board like with CP2077. It's also possible that Microsoft is bribing them in the background like they did in the past to prevent them from being PS exclusives.

>Random chart whit no context or actual source.
What does this prove exactly?
For all we know this is the platform split for games in US or Japan or UK only or a chart that excludes any of the countries.

Also PC has alternate key sites many of which are legit and not gray markets.
Green man gaming for instance buys keys directly from the developer in bulk and sell them at a discount.
Sony is just a singular market and easier to track.
>>
>>734210646
Xbox also has game pass.
Why buy Refantasio on Xbox when you can rent it for 10$ and finish it in a month.
>>
>>734210218
i've got loads of kegs, fuck you
>>
>>734210646
Oh yeah im sure everyone is buying them from alternative key sites! Add in those key sites than PC makes up 99% of the sales!

What do the top 20 games on steam have to do with anything? On PC you got the choice of playing any game from the past 30 years so there's no reason to hurry up and buy the latest trash
>>
>>734210857
I am not clamming everyone is.
But its likely at lest 10-20% are possibly more.
Like for instance. The new RE game is less than 60$ like around 57$ on this site and its 100% legit and legal as GMG has bean doing business whit Capcom directly for years.
Meanwhile its 70 Euros on steam which amounts to around 81$

Why would i not pay less for the same game?

I already got all my Monhun games from this site.

You are beyond delusional. I doubt even the most high profile sales amplified to the unwashed masses on reddit have ever hit more than 5%. The overwhelming majority of gamers are either unaware those sites exist at all or very uncomfortable using them because of all the stories they hear about stolen credit cards and payment processor rejections and whatever other shady nonsense.
I know personally about a decade ago my bank card had a fraud lock put on it because I tried to buy a game on GMG and when I called and explained and they unlocked it and told me to try again, the same thing happened. I was eventually able to buy the game but it was a huge hassle and a few months later when it happened again I just gave up. I’ll pay the extra $10, my floors aren’t dirt I can afford it.

>>
>>734223242
It's doomed to flop because the platform is that widespread which make it chaotic to nail upon. Billions of PC worldwide, gigantic prospect due reach but the real numbers of consumer and playerbase is a couple of millions at best. In that perspective they're flops, on the other hand landing a bit of that small portion still brings them big buck for minimal work + space to predatory practices, the thing is that not many achieve that let alone consistently hence chaotic. PC is a chaotic platform by nature

You won't need to. Between AI, pc component manufacturers giving gamers the middle finger and selling to data centers, windows shitting the bed, nvidia releasing vibe coded nightmare drivers that kill gpus, and 12vhpwr cables/psus/motherboards setting themselves on fire, pc gaming is killing itself. It will cease to exist entirely in a few years unless some miracle happens.

Again; because they're easy to understand

>90 million PS5
>"X" amount of game with online features sold
>game in question only sold 300k units worldwide
It's clear its online playerbase is below 300k as they don't go 1:1 and not everyone uses online features in their games even if present so it'd be 50% of that total being 150k but then again, there are a lot of other games and people won't stay playing ons single game so the attach rate for said online gets even lower to the point where 20k is already a very high number for it when you compare it with let's say weekly game charts.

So you understand the magnitude of Halo 3's success and level of how dead Halo is now.

That's cope. Consoles have finite and well known numbers making easier to notice the online playerbase while PC doesn't and needs stuff like Steam so you could get an idea.
