    PC gamers all have different machines, which must make optimization a nightmare.

    DirectX, Vulkan and OpenGL do all of the talking to the hardware, those have been around for a very long time. The imaginary issue of ‘you have to target millions of configurations’ is simply not true.

      I’m simply stating the issues that are brought up by the game companies themselves. At the end of the day you don’t have to believe them but you have to accept that they’re capitalists, and if they’re not interested in the PC game market, it’s because it isn’t profitable or worth going after.

        You’d be best to not repeat pr statements if you don’t know about the underlying technology then. Companies will say whatever they think sounds best and won’t immediately get them in obvious trouble.

            You’re buying into brand war bullshit. I’m not in Playstation threads telling them to get a pc. You’re here defending nameless companies that dont care about you.

            Play and buy the things that make you happy, a lot of people aren’t happy with console offerings as of late. That’s all it is, there is no righteous crusade, it’s video games man.
