  People don’t want to face the truth. For the decades the “PCMR” meme has existed, it’s all been about supporting Microsoft.

    I don’t think there’s any kind of consensus that PCMR was all about bigging up Microsoft. It’s about playing PC games, and using your technology with more understanding than your average console user. It’s implied that someone using a PC has Windows because Windows is installed on virtually every single PC on Earth. For the years I’ve spent frequenting r/PCMasterRace, I’ve never seen any outward Microsoft glazing.

      Yeah, I’m pointing to the obliviousness of the whole thing. It’s really strange.
