    It’s bothersome that you refuse to acknowledge that the vast majority of popular/profitable PC games are not playable on cheap, office-grade, low-end hardware. And that you insist on cherry-picking a handful of examples that do as representative of the majority.

    There are certainly a wide variety of popular/profitable mobile games that you can’t/don’t play on PC either for compatibility or because they’re unavailable, or because they’re tailored to touchscreen devices.

      The vast majority? That’s just not true. Probably 10%. The issue here is you seem to think the good games are the popular/most profitable ones. I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect. VNs, MMOs, gambling games, etc. All that shit exists, is profitable, and is popular. Yet your focus seems to be on high end stuff for some reason. I am not the one cherry picking.

      I played many on shitty office hardware back in the day.

      Mobile games being different I’ll grant.

      edit: I think I get it, this is just a “PC master race” thing, isn’t it? People are upset I’m not doing the circlejerk thing and pumping their egos for them. I’m too old for that bullshit.

      Do you remember farmville?

      Also, most of those high end games? Also available on console. It’s the weird, not-high-end stuff that is usually unique to PC, with a few exceptions.

        I didn’t interject my personal opinions anywhere. You’re the one doing that.

        I am not the one cherry picking.

        You are though. I haven’t picked anything at all. The list is too long.

        PC vs. console is an entirely different discussion. The point is that they’re not on mobile.

          This post is about PC gaming having a larger market share than all consoles combined. And my list is 10x the size of yours, easily. High end games are not even close to most of them, and also are subject to financial failure.
