Why would a PC gamer buy consoleport garbage. How about we compare total sales vs a PC exclusive. Shit Mecca Chameleon is just Microsoft paint with voice chat and it outsold any triple A PS5 title you can think of.

No reason to. On PC when you purchase a game we still don't legally own it. Purchasing is pointless. So we pirate instead.

Tokon might have something to do with the PC port not working, especially online, to such an extent that PS5 players were turning off matchmaking with Steam. I saw so many friends playing day one on Steam and almost all of them refunded.

I would be on console right now if they just gave me offline playable 1.0 discs and console play that does not need to be required to be connected to the internet for setup. They have Blu-ray discs that go up to 100 GB now and 50 GB they can easily compress 120 GB game and uncompressed and copy it to the console.

So far Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo don't give a shit about this so I'm non buynary

I can't speak for most of those games but Marvel Tokon launched literally unplayable on Steam, with three layers of invasive and performing-tanking DRM, and tons of people refunded it while a ton of other people refused to buy it in the first place due to the aforementioned DRM.

>>748255941
Companies selling to PC gamers who complain about sales are shit at selling games.
>>748256098
Piracy does not negatively impact sales. Supposed negative impacts exist because the product is bad and the sales tactics are bad.
Console-focused games that actively and aggressively curtail PC piracy actually lose sales if they're good games, because the piracy is just free marketing from people who would have never bought the game. Major releases usually spend more money on marketing than on development, so you can't tell me that free marketing isn't worth it.
>>748256224
Everything became console driven because of companies thinking that there was a magical untapped audience of casuals that never materialized. The supposed lack of sales on PC were for the same reason that the music industry complained about Napster: they were bad at selling products.
>>748256240
There is legally no difference between ownership on PC and console in the EU (Muttland's worship of corporations that violate their constitution means that they don't matter, there's a reason they set the record for oldest living president right when they passed software copyright in 1980).
In the EU a digital copy confers just as many rights as a physical copy legally, you are within your rights to resell a digital copy and its associated license if you remove your ability to play the copy.
If one argues that legality differs from reality, then an online console is a worse deal because you don't have full control over the console you ostensibly own, so they can violate your rights even if you have a physical copy.

Why would I buy games that I don't own forever legally? Sell them without DRM or put them on GOG or no buy.

I mean you don't go to a restaurant sit down and then the waiter comes in refuses to give you togo box the food you paid for

You don't go to a hardware store, buy a set of tools and then months later the company who made thems comes and steals them from your house because the license expired

Want me to buy your game let me own it legally in DRM free as an archive. I may not own the legal right to advertise and use its IP but I damn well own the right to have it forever since I paid for it

Do you know how many great games I could get for the full price of a AAA ?! Even more if I can spend that money across 3 months so I get discount
EVEN more if I just buy keys from 3rd parties website

Not one good game in that pic. Of course I'm not gonna buy any of them.

Console gamers buy games at full price
PC gamers only buy games at 90% discount during steam sales

What's the issue here? just release the games on multiplatforms and let PCfags buy them 6 years down the line when it's cheap enough.
