Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other?

Submitted ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨sk1nnym1ke@piefed.social⁩ to ⁨nostupidquestions@lemmy.world⁩

There are endless discussion on the internet why pc gaming is superior than consoles and vice versa.

I don’t understand that there is a necessity to prove that one is better than the. Just play your game and let other gamers enjoy their game too.

There’s a lot of hate for mobile because it does feel like literally millions of folks are abused and exploited by them. Sure, there’s neat games buried in the App Store/Google Play, but… the sheer volume of literal scams is unreal.

That, I get. I got no issue with the neat stuff though.

All the other snobbery is folks people being immature snobs. And the cross-brand ‘rivalry’ isn’t so extreme anymore.

I’m perfectly content to let console player enjoy their games, just PC games feel so much easier to control for me, especially with the fine control the mouse offers. Although I do appreciate the vibration handhelds can have, mice can have it too, but it’s not as good. PC keyboards also have lots more buttons that you can map to functions, meaning more things can be accessible with one click.

  I have a Pc but don’t want to bring it into my living room every night to play games on my 81” screen.
  
  Consoles have their place.
  
  Mobile phone games that are just glorified gambling casinos are fucking trash and should be outlawed.

  To a point. There's just a bit of an entry gap when it comes to PC. If you have the money to build a PC that will last you years and can run just about 95% of all games released to the point of you having built the machine to entire backlogs of previous generations of games that were released on console. You won't be disappointed. The amount of those games is staggering and it can all be done with one PC as opposed to having to buy a console that's already pricey, then having to buy the actual games which have gotten even pricier on their own.

  This is exactly why there’s animosity.
  
  I prefer console because: it just works. Devs don’t need to address bugs related to hardware, and they can tune their games for the performance of the console.
  
  I don’t have a lot of free time so knowing it will work within seconds of hitting the power button is worth it to me.
  
  I used to PC game, and still do for a few that are better with a mouse/keyboard.
  
  I don’t hate on anyone that prefers a different gaming system.

    I was being facetious but yes you are obviously right. It’s just down to anyone’s needs and preference at the end of the day.
    
    Consoles suck.

  Depends on your needs. For my needs, PC is better.

    I see what you mean. Everyone’s needs are different. But PC is better, of course

I think it was more prevalent when there were “console wars” i.e., fans of Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo would shout at the other two about how great their system and games were. Some of it was probably marketing, some of it was overly excited and fanatical people making arguments for a thing they like. Generally, PC gamers get to enjoy a little bit of everything, from PC ports to emulators to their own exclusive swathes of games, but the label of “PC Gamer” feels marred by the idiots over at r/pcmasterrace.

Nowadays I’d be very surprised to see this bickering, considering how cross-platform everything is now. Playstation games are on PC, Xbox games are coming to Playstation. Nintendo is… well, Nintendo.

  Yeah, its interesting that OP is just now asking about this when it seems like the console wars have died down entirely

  This is the real answer, most people don’t care but they like banding together and having someone else be the “other group”

  And we have a hard time understanding others’ perspectives, which I think is also a big factor here.
