If most games were designed for PC, then ported to console, gaming would truly be ruined. You won't be able to run any game properly on a machine that's a couple years old and constantly forced to upgrade to overpriced hardware.

This. If anything consoles keep PC gaming in check so that side of the industry doesn't get too big for its britches (in fact they have been anyway, given the way GPUs have been going since the pandemic).

If gaming was entirely reliant on customizable hardware the game industry's greed would be a lot more untamed.

Isn’t the idea that “someone” (the government) should control the production of different video game playing machines a direct contradiction to the lolbert/classical liberal faggots who are most of the PC userbase?

it's true

>He says when PC gaming is suffering from increasingly bloated system requirements while barely looking better than 20-year-old titles.
I think I'd prefer consoles to impose some kind of limit (though even that's useless)

I don't think it's relevant anymore. extreme graphical fidelity inevitably produces shallow movie game experiences and pc is a big enough market with steam and the streaming boom to support any game/genre that's viable(rts would still be around if core pc gamers gave a shit).

Consoles ruin gaming in other ways besides how much compromise they require over making a game run as good as it could on a PC.

Are you saying that PC Master Race is not large enough group for devs to cater to them exclusively?
I remember CD Project guys talking about this when W3 development was mentioned in some interview.
How PC fags are inadequate and game made specifically for them wouldn't recoup the cost of development.
Guess that's the consequence of army of fags waiting for $0.5 STEAM sales all the time.

Yes, and if they didn't, companies would have no reason whatsoever to properly optimize their games, we would be dealing with completely unoptimized and buggy disasters that put the blame on the player for not spending $4k on a PC to play at 60fps. Limitations is what breeds creativity and for a reason the industry has been stagnated for years, because companies only care about fancier graphics and movie experiences nowadays.

you do realise 100% of games are made on PC, right?
Like they actually develop the game, on a PC, then port it to consoles, even if they then later 'port' it back to PC the original home for it was some office computer and server.

Famously From soft swapped to developing for PC first and porting to console following DS1, and their games litterally shot up in quality and performance since. DS2 was the last consolebab ruined game they made.

>you do realise
that they develop their games with the constraints of PlayStation in mind

>CONSOLES RUIN GAMING
No.
Every Steam hardware survey shows the same thing.
96% of PC gamers are playing on shitter builds less powerful that the Series S.

>>718480159
That's not how it works retard.
Games are developed on PC but all the code is run on the developer's kit version of the console for testing.

>>718480159
no they don’t, they develop the game for console dev kits, they play it on the dev kits retardo pcvegan

>Developers design their games with the highest end hardware in mind
Games are designed for the 3060 and 4060 because those are the most popular graphics cards

smells like cheeto dust in here

>>718480159
>Famously From soft swapped
Absolutely 0 japanese devs make games with PC in mind

>>718481882
>most popular
4.44% is the most popular, but it's fucking marginal you moron

>>718481309
Now filter the results excluding Brazil, India and China

The PC cries out as it kills console gaming.

>>718475042 (OP)
PC graphics whores ruined gaming.

>>718482378
If you look at the full list the other popular cards have the equivalent of that processing power
It's the what the average gaming pc is
Most people aren't running thousand dollar graphics cards so why would devs make games that require them?

exactly. If developers gets their way, we won't be on this shitshow now. instead we have to "optimize" the game for poor people with shit PCs and Console players.

>>718484705
I meant like...because of the whole walled garden thing, meaning shit like paid online and microtransactions can flourish while also being heavy-handed about how people can use their hardware because it's proprietary.
