How come the gaming community never has a problem with there being PC exclusives?

[Womb Raider]

Who care about any of those games. Ima pc gamer and this is the first time I’ve heard of any of those.

Because almost everyone has a PC, but not everyone has a PlayStation, Xbox, or nintendo

Because it’s hard to keep track off you realize there’s like 20,000 games that release on PC in a year which a good chunk of them are on some porno shyt. I’m sure there’s some gems in that 20,000 but there’s alot of trash as well.

This is just from scrolling IGN most recent videos. None of them are slated to release on console. There's a ton of them.
I thought exclusives were anti consumer?
So if I wanted to play any of these, I'd be forced to buy a $2,000 PC

I don't think many developers are making PC exclusive games that are in a good position to make console games unless the games don't work on console. Eventually a popular PC game will come to consoles if it can work on them.

All those games will end up on console eventually

no they wont

most exclusive PC games are from small indie companies.

This is why the console wars “exclusives” debate is stupid.

If there’s any platform that wins on “exclusives” it’s PC.

But the fanboys don’t want to admit that

Console gamers aren’t worried about what PC gamers are doing.

It’s like broke ass Android users constantly trying to flex about what new features their phone has compared to iPhone users, meanwhile iphone users are over here minding our business not bothering anyone.

Was the last really big PC game to hit consoles Skyrim? I can't think of anything else. I'm really surprised Wow never made it to consoles.

You think you console players are smart enough to play something like total war

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Once these games hit relative success they will get ported over. Might take months or years.

PC exclusives are just a business scaling matter.

I feel the same way about PC games as I do about MOBILE games ....

i by no means consider myself a PC gamer...but ...mobile and PC games aren't remotely the same.

Porting to console is not simple or cheap. Most of these dev teams are very small. Consoles are also extremely strict when it comes to stability, bugs, and patches.

this is the right answer.
