We (PC gamers) have a wide swath of hardware and input preferences that consoles do not even make an ATTEMPT to accommodate. Then there’s the predatory “pay us a subscription to play online” thing, too.

Most PC gamers will just completely skip consoles rather than play games like that. Our patience is eternal and without end.

Don't forget things like locking everyone into their ecosystem. Case in point, Minecraft. On the pc using Bedrock I can connect to any server. Xbox and Nintendo versions I know for a fact you can only connect to approved servers. Not sure about the PS version, but I would venture it's similar. So why would I want to limit myself by playing their locked down copy of the exact same game?
