YOU TRICKED ME /v/

Yes but you don't understand. When you buy it on PC you buy it a single time.

On consoles you have to buy the original, then the port because its not backwards compatible, then the remaster because its not backwards compatible, and then the remake because its not backwards compatible.

>>713030329
What's great about PC is not even having to buy it at all!

People that own a PC and still buy things on a console to play them earlier are actually dumber than exclusive console players, since the only reason that companies get away with the retarded limited exclusive horseshit is because morons like you get fomobaited into buying games twice.

I'm really suffering for games now. Basically all long running series end up worse with each new entry, but I don't have a backlog of games to play through anymore, and have played my favorites to death, I even played a bunch of the major MMOs to a significant extent, I straight up don't know what to do.
Yes I can keep replaying old classics but like, I've played these games for ages when I was a kid and played them even more as an adult so I do crave something new. But so few new games worth playing come out either. Keep digging for hidden gems and finding nothing.

I always warn against the lies of PC only players. If you actually care about playing the newest games, consoles are the way to go. And of course if you care at all about the physical collection side of the hobby, then have fun collecting all those Steam games (which you don’t even own.)

Those CDs are debatably the best ones of all; no cut corners in their manufacturing. That's why bronzing became a thing with those, pure unadulterated toxic, enviroment killing, product that defies time.

>>713044720
Your "physical" isn't even physical. Besides poorer quality. What is the difference between an SSD holding files and a disc holding files? They're both physical objects storing digital data.

>What is the difference between an SSD holding files and a disc holding files? They're both physical objects storing digital data.
That's the narrowminded take, retarded even. The difference comes from one being closed off with the other open to rewritting data. So the closed off disc is something finite you own, the SSD open for rewritting is merely a databox where you only own the databox itself over the games you store in there at will, and that's assuming those games aren't the licenses only.

Yeah, but it USED to be. And the only reason it’s not right now is because these companies want to force the option away from consumers.

Hot refers to temperature how warm the air is
Humid refers to the amount of moisture in the air there is
Disc rot can occur due to heat, and humidity. You're a moron beyond measure if you think it's just one or the other that causes it.
>>713045375

Discs while bulletproof to being faked are too flimsy for the level of data currently.

>Disc rot can occur due to heat, and humidity. You're a moron beyond measure if you think it's just one or the other that causes it.
No, honey; water/humidity is the main threat. Heat only affects it in extreme amounts. But you're dumb so can't conceive the limits of it.

I will never stop buying physical games, and no forced memes from soulless creatures who want to live in a pod with nothing but digital files can stop me.

Why does it feel like I'm locked on Steam when it comes to PC? I just switched and every other store or app is total dogshit.

Yeah bro let me just rely on perpetual server uptime, DRM leniency, and license stability instead of owning a static product I can touch and store for decades. Brilliant plan.

Also, disc rot from heat is rare unless you're marinating your games in an oven daily. Humidity’s the real killer—ever heard of delamination? Didn’t think so.

>>713045882
>Why does it feel like I'm locked on Steam when it comes to PC?
Because it's a monopoly, now don't tell to Steamdrones or they would melt and try to tell you Gaben is such a good guy for killing their options of purchasing their games.

>>713045882
Steam is top dog for a reason. The competition is pretty garbage. It's still to your advantage to make use of competitors like GoG to get access to DRM free games. Steam at best will offer DRM Lite.

>>713045982
>gets upset
Projection.

>>713045882
That's all software. There is no alternative to Photoshop, or YouTube, or Google, or Amazon.

In real life, businesses are competitive, nobody can easily grab a monopoly. But software is different, nobody knows why software normally leads to one company controlling all of the market.

>>713046525
>There is no alternative to Photoshop
Gimp. Which is even better.

>>713045882
GOG is pretty good and has some games Steam doesn't have. That's really about it for competition.

>>713046606
Gimp is terrible and only used by people nearly as autistic as the people who develop it.

>>713046525
It's because people really only want to use one software, it's more convenient, its easier to have everyone learn the same thing, its easier for everyone.
Its like if every single tractor controlled completely differently and worked off completely different, incompatible mechanisms, people would gravitate towards the first one they used and only ones most similar to it. To keep using the tractor analogy I guess it would also be like if you needed a different tractor for every single type of work instead of being able to swap tools on the tractor you have, people would obviously have resistance to that even if they could get the other ones for free because its just less convenient to have to store and maintain that many different things instead of just one.

>>713046606
It's really not. Good enough, but not nearly as good.

>>713030173 (OP)
PC is for Patience.
You control yourself wait many years for the rare worthwhile console game to be ported.
Then you wait many more years for it to be fully patched and on sale with all DLC for $3.
Meanwhile you play thousands of other games until you finally get your hands on the game which has been out for almost a decade and make a thread about it.

Thanks for proving that Gimp will never be anywhere as good as photoshop.

>>713045882
Yeah, Steam and GOG are the only worthwhile shops. GOG because they're DRM-free and provide offline installers. Steam reigns supreme because nobody else even attempts to compete otherwise. The amount of features and functionality Steam has completely shits on every other shop and other companies don't even make even the frailest of attempts to reach feature parity at all. So, Steam continues to reign.

>>713049106
Actually no I don't. I don't compulsively Buy every game on sale like the addicts on here do. I buy games that I know I will play til I'm bored.

I don't understand anyone who has a backlog of more than 5 games. If you aren't going to play it when you buy it, then don't buy it at all. I'm tired of the backlog meme. It's so fucking retarded

>>713051871
You don't understand what a backlog is. You don't have to have bought a game for it to be in your backlog.

>>713052185
A Backlog has always been games you owned that you haven't played, but ok if we're using your definition it makes no sense to have a backlog if you own a PC. You can own virtually ever game you want.

If you say you want to play a game for a full year and you still never get around to it....why even bother saying it's in your backlog. It's ok to say you have no interest in it.

>>713053386
No. The term backlog is older than video games and can even extend to things that cannot be owned or would be "owned" in a less permanent way. You can have also have a backlog of movies, shows or books. It's a bucket list. Things go into your backlog if you have any desire to do, see or play them. If a friend gives you a video game you don't want, does that go into your backlog? No. It's the desire. Not ownership.

>>713054049
There's no way to quantify a backlog if it's based intangible "desire".
How many games do you have in your backlog, how can you determine if you actually desire it if you haven't made the effort to attain it in any capacity within a year of desiring it.

>>713054531
Some people keep an actual list if they want to quote a number, or they actually go off ownership like you'd expect. But backlogs don't need to be quantifiable to exist. You can just keep it in your mind and if you forget something then you forget.
