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

[MajesticLion]

The PC gaming space is a lot more experimental, especially with niche genres and ideas. Consolers are all about mass appeal.

There's a lot of shovelware that doesn't even make it to Steam, much less the amount that's actually on there. Here's the thing: knowledge is knowledge, and all the mistakes and experimenting done on the throwaway stuff is exactly how people perfect their craft. Which is why core PC gaming endured and ignored mostly every major attempt at mainstream marketing rubbish.

Insert mixtape-vs-album-cuts comparisons here.

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

Facts

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

Because games are mostly made on PC and to be fair, there's mostly shyt shovelware on Steam and other marketplaces. PC fronts like its the end all be all, but it's actually more like the Wal-Mart of gaming. Sure you can get all the good name brand stuff, but it's shoved in there right next to a ton of unorganized shyt product.

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.

probablt Fortnite and PUBG

True. Games I never play but are super popular.

If a dev doesn't want to make inferior versions of their games I don't blame them.

Let's be real. It's because those games don't matter. I've never fukking heard of them. Console gamers aren't demanding those games get released on consoles. Sony and Microsoft games are different though. Sony exclusives are good, high profile, games. Everybody wants to play them. Demand is much higher for Sony and Microsoft ports. I want the PS exclusives. I couldn't care less about these pc exclusives

wake me up when you plug a keyboard into your console to type your character name.

when y'all willing to do that, we can reconvene on PC exclusives. Until then... nah.

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

Wrong. Almost everyone has a cell phone would be more accurate.

You always were a real one Ciggie. Saying the quiet part out loud. I've been saying that despite even liking some indie games that 999/1000 of them are not moving the needle at all nor are all the bells and whistles that some of these fraudulent ass pc guys pretend they are. Nor should that be the end all, be all move that the gaming industry needs to do. They're the epitome of niche more often than not.

Basically. There's no quality control for pc games. Not on steam or any other of their storefronts.

The PC is essentially a universal platform. People don't talk about the exclusivity of it because you more than likely have access to it. Some games in its history do get ported around to consoles when it matters enough for monetary reasons, from AAA to indie.

Nowadays, consoles and PCs are just another branch on the gaming tree. Until something technology important comes along where only one line of product has it, nothing's probably gonna change in the short term.
