Oh, with consoles you don’t have to find out about backwards compatibility? Or whether the performance is sufficient with all the different versions within the same generation? But all you can think of are the same nonsensical statements? The ones with distrowatch are more likely to be people who are interested… the others are more likely to be referred to Bazitte or chachyoa in the steam forums and they use steam to play anyway (before the bullshit statement comes that would be too complicated for people). A friendly community that is willing to help is not a problem either… For consoles, have fun with the non-thinking kiddy’s filled with hate Especially since you’re just trolling because you’ve been distorting the facts from the start anyway. Since I basically argued that you can do all that with the PC as well as with a console. In other words, it’s just as feasible. With you it immediately became something like I want to tell people what they should play with… No, that’s just you You want to tell people what they should use instead of letting them decide for themselves… but your behavior shows wonderfully what you have to be prepared for… The one who is so frustrated by his bad purchase right from the start that he basically wants to goad people against the other options out of frustration without any arguments.
For people who want a console, it’s ok and their choice anyway. But the justification because of the couch feeling and because it is kept so extremely simple (connect, update, play) is simply no longer up to date. Since there are linux distributions with which you can do this out of the box even without knowledge of OS and without knowledge of the tools. The cheaper acquisition costs for hardware would be an argument, exclusive titles would be an argument or for someone with win PC + Xbox gamepass would be an argument (although it is precisely gamepass + alternatives that have negative long-term consequences for game development… Just like e.g. epic’s business method, but that’s a different topic) So there are enough pros & cons on both sides. You have to stick to contemporary reasons. Especially since the (PC) SteamDeck has made it more than clear how suitable Linux is for gaming nowadays. If MS and publishers would not put obstacles in the way as they have done for decades. In the end, everyone should decide for themselves what they are happy with
