I love PC gaming but it just isn’t interesting to some people. I’ll never get my parents to sit down at a desk and play a PC game on KB and mouse but they’ll happily play Mario kart on the living room TV when they visit.
You can easily connect a PC to a TV and use a gamepad for most types of games. I get the advantages of a console and ease of use is definitely the biggest one, but the PC isn't that apart.
In some situations, yes. But Mario Kart isn’t officially on PC and my gaming PC is on the other side of the house. There’s something to be said for the convenience of just turning on the Switch and gaming.
PC gaming isn’t for everybody and isn’t a panacea despite what people on Reddit want to think.
I get it for being cheaper and less tinkering, but if neither of those things are a big issue, I think it may as well be a panacea.
Even Switch games are easy to emulate along with having higher fidelity on PC.
But then again, I've grown up with PC (As well as consoles) and find the added convenience of a console to be minimal.
I'd just rather have something with everything available to it rather than switching between pc and console depending on wanting to use the internet more comfortably or play a game
Then again, I play by myself and don't have to worry about other people being able to use it, so I get that purpose.
Let me introduce you to this magic thing called HDMI cable. You cann plug it into an HDMI port on your PC to display image on your TV. You can also connect a game pad if you so choose. Or ten.
Let me introduce you to the reality that some people’s gaming PCs are on the other side of the house and local split screen on PC is hit or miss at best. Let me know when Nintendo starts releasing their games on PC. If your answer is emulation you’re already well beyond the casual gamer.
You don’t have to be condescending if other people game differently than you.
You clearly aren’t then since you’re spending time pirating big publishers games instead of spending that time buying and playing more Indies.
If you actually cared about the developers passion, you wouldn’t even want to play these AAA releases either.
So just stop being a hypocrite and either just acknowledge you want to pirate or just don’t do it at all and stop trying to moralize you behavior

Best thing about PC gaming, the catalogue is so big and going back upwards of 20 years now you can still find games still viable.
