Because if you think about it:

>The PC market is much smaller than the console market.
>Moreover, on PC, everyone has a different configuration, a different processor, a different graphics card, and as a result, developers waste their time properly optimizing their games instead of focusing on gameplay and game design.
>Plus, we're constantly bothered by PC gamers cheating in video games, whether online, because they can install third-party programs.
>And what's more, they make fun of console gamers even though they've denied their own origins. Even PC gamers, the best times of their lives with video games were with the Nintendo 64, the PS2, or the Xbox 360.
>They insult consoles even though the times they had the most fun were on consoles.

I'm a big proponent of shutting down PC gaming. I don't want any new games coming out. A PC is for work, a console is for play. That's it.

It depends. What does work mean to you? If it's secretarial work, a laptop might be enough. But if it's AI or Blender, then a desktop computer will be useful and necessary.

And then you don't address my concerns about developers having to waste their time making PC ports. So... PC gaming causes far more problems than benefits.

that's not much smaller and the "console market" isn't a real concept, consoles are fragmented between 3 plateforms with different kinds of players.
there is no console market because someone playing on a nintendo console has different expectations than someone playing on playstation.

pc individually dwarfs any console

Doesn't this prove that the console marker is only barely bigger than PC?
Using OP's logic, companies should stop publishing to both console and PC and just focus on mobile phone games.

Consoles are on their way out. Xbox has already thrown in the towel and sony is releasing all their games on PC chasing short term profit not realizing it is hurting their brand image. Unironically in 10 years time nintendo will be the only still making consoles

PC market has grown by a lot in recent years
>the nips finally figured out how to use computer
>chinks have gotten further access into capitalist western entertainment
>eastern europeans still can't afford a console because it costs a months paycheck, and none of the digital stores are supported there anyways
>some console manufacturers like Xbox have gone out of their way to refuse to allow even console imports to certain regions
>middle east and the poorer parts of Asia finally have access to PCs that can play video games due to all the electronic waste thrown their way
This is in addition to all the people in western world who prefer PC gaming over console, though it is still very very regional.

Because selling games to PC users makes companies more money than what it cost to port them to PC, and companies like to make more money
If it didn't make money then no one would continue to release their games on pc. The answer for everything a company does is and it will always be money

Ignore the seething steamtroons ITT. PC gaming in 2025 is held up by microtransactions, MMO subscriptions and live service slop.
Triple A devs don't make much money on PC and is the reason why their already badly optimized games run like shit and need an rtx 4080 with DLSS on just to run games at 1080p

do you know the first fucking thing about hardware?
all intel cpus are similar
all amd cpus are similar
all nvidia gpus are similar
all amd gpus are similar
all intel gpus are similar
and most of the work is done by the gpu makers themselves
what people say when they mean optimisation is culling the pointless details and code inefficiencies not anything to do with the fucking hardware

Extra money. They cost relatively nothing to make. It cost Sony $2m to port Spider-Man.
PC gamers aren't console gamers and vice versa, despite how loud they are here and on YouTube neither side is going to switch to the other side so there's no harm being done to the console market with PC ports.

I donโ€™t play sloppy modern shooters and I donโ€™t have a mental breakdown if a game drops below 120 frames for a picosecond
PC gamers are generally either emulationchads who just find PC a convenient platform for playing real games or theyโ€™re benchmark fags who play whatever sludge releases on Steam and unironically say things like โ€œmy rigโ€
The former are fine, the latter are no better than gacha whales

GTA6 will not be launching on the PC zealot master race platform. Crazy to think that the average /v/ PC fanboy thinks they're the biggest audience of gaming, lol, while simultaneously not being allowed to play the biggest hyped modern game. Well zealot gonna zealot, Steam Deck hasn't even outsold the N-Gage or Ouya. Steam Machines were financial flop, much like Steam VR. Financially speaking I am completely right. Something that Reddit cult of personality GabeN fanboys don't get.

Literally this. Consoles are massively gimped by a reliance on official peripherals, especially since the current controller can barely play 3D games without a lot of handholding and reduction in complexity.
If you want the player to click on things instead of awkwardly hovering around a dozen objects waiting for the interaction prompt to switch to the desired action, then you release on PC.
The 2000s were mostly just consoles burning through former PC franchises and genres , and look at where we are now.

By the same reasoning: you used to call your first girlfriend on a landline phone, so will you cling to landline phones forever?
Besides, back then consoles had real advantages: lower prices and more games. Today a decent PC is very much affordable and can run way more games than any console (including basically all games from most past consoles). So console today have no advantage.

All you're doing is proving the PC elitism faggotry. Then when " Jamal and Deano " dunk on your ass, you scream aim assist. Aim assist has always been there on consoles, even before the days of crossplay multiplayer, and yall were still shit talking. Once again, all this proved was that just because you have a PC that's worth 2-3x as much as a console, probably more, that doesn't automatically make you better. It just proved that you're roughly on the same rung of the ladder as the average console controller player.

Consoles have aim assist. PC has significantly higher fps, and also can alter the graphics settings to give you an advantage like grass density, etc.

Aim assist does help in close quarter situations, and can close the gap better analog stick aiming vs mouse aiming. BUT at medium and especially long distance, a mouse is significantly better at aiming obviously. So if you get out-gunned by a controller player at medium distance or longer, pls stfu about aim assist, you got outplayed.

Perhaps, but at this stage in the game industry, console gaming is the worst platform to be on for pure digital games. Now with ray tracing being made mandatory for some game engines, modern PC hardware that take's advantage of RT cores will only benefit with games that feature RT by design. And with PC games you have the opportunity to mod your games to your hearts content. Not to mention free online multiplayer.
