Wait for it. Don't let Microsoft and Sony hijack games and developers in order to sell their plastic. Remember hardware should sell software, not the other way around.

Do you give the same advice to Linux/OS X users when a AAA game is exclusively on Windows?
-
[url=https://www.playonlinux.com/en/]PlayOnLinux[/url] As far as mac goes. Just get rid of it. No, seriously. Get rid of that garbage. You can attempt to run it using wine, but macs aren't exactly equipped with very good hardware for gaming.

WINE is a buggy headache, and certain iMac's have hardware capable of playing modern games. My point was the lack of native games on both of those operating systems sell Windows for any prospective PC gamer. Many Linux ports were released years after the game launched. The so-called "open platform" isn't all that open in reality.

Edited by Martiis: 12/14/2015 12:57:41 AMYou are confusing open-platform with open-source. PC is an open platform because no one company or entity holds ownership over it. As it relates to gaming this means that anyone can set up a digital distribution service<or platform, for PC and anyone with a PC will have access to every platform. These include Steam, GOG, Origin, Uplay, Battlenet, Rockstar Social Network, etc. Just as little side note; Windows is actually free to install on any system. Microsoft only charges for a product key, or activation key. It is completely possible to run Windows without ever activating it, therefore without ever paying for it, and this is 100% completely legal.

If the company who made the hardware makes a game for it I'm all for that but paying companies for timed content/whole games is wrong
-
It shouldn't be that way either. You shouldn't buy purely based off one or the other. That being said, you should buy off software sooner than hardware. What's the point of the hardware if the software isn't good?
-
You answered your own question. If you cannot sell a platform without holding good games ransom, you don't deserve to sell. Hardware should sell software, not the other way around.
-
If your hardware doesn't have any good games it doesn't deserve to sell. At the end of the day it's the games you're interested in. Why have a nice shiny box with nothing to play?
-
Are you really trying to defend ransomware?
-
I defending exclusives. I find timed exclusives pointless in this instance because they end up on the other console anyway.
-
Ransomware is the ultimate peasantry and should be shunned, not praised. Only a true corporate slave would defend such an anti-consumer business practice.
-
While you're working on your hyperbole over there, I'm going to take a more realistic look at things. They're a necessary part of the market. Different things are better for different people.
-
Explain to me how ransomware could possibly be good for the gaming industry.
-
As long as consoles are here to stay (and trust me - they are), it keeps a balance. There's no way one gets a monopoly. Companies have to stay competitive with one another, so they can't force stupid policies or pricing. If there were no exclusives, everyone would just transfer to one.
-
You truly are misguided by the rhetoric of the console overlords. In reality all this ransomware does is allow for these overlords to sell you inferior hardware at a ridiculous price all the while halting growth and advancement in technology and gaming. Understand that up until the late 90s games were not exclusive because a company was holding them hostage as a way to ransom the game off on their platform, but rather because it was the developer's choice to develop for a certain platform in order to improve play, performance, and satisfy their artistic vision through superior hardware. All that these ransomware titles do now is create an artificial barrier.

it sounds like you are trying to use fancy talk to bash the Xbox. If you are please kindly remove Sonys dick from your mouth
-
You sound like you took a class on this in college and then developed a superiority complex. I'm not going to weigh in either way, but you sound like you have not just a tinfoil hat, but an entire suit of the stuff

[quote]You truly are misguided by the rhetoric of the console overlords. [/quote] Oh calm your tits. I find it entertaining how stupid you look.

[/quote] A) This was the first console generation to have specs around par for PC at time for launch, not ahead. B) Growth and advancement of technology most certainly does not get halted. C) I'm so very sure that Mario stayed on Nintendo consoles because of that very reason, and not at all because of the resulting sales from him staying on one. [quote] All that these ransomware titles do now is create an artificial barrier.[/quote] And one that is necessary for console gaming to work with multiple companies like it does. For whatever reason, you have some delusions about how people would simply flock to the most superior hardware if games were all available on all platforms. Nobody would use the others. That the platform creator wouldn't jack up prices or begin to incorporate unnecessary policies and limitations.
