    Yep. There's so many experiences to have across PC, console, handheld, and now mobile that you only do yourself a disservice by picking one and shunning all others.

    I never understood where the whole "PC master race vs peasant console gamers" came from. Is it some meme from 4chan or something?

    Because it's honestly stupid to limit yourself to just one platform. I mean sure I won't ever buy PSone / PS2 again since I can now easily and efficiently emulate them on computer, but if I had enough spare money I wouldn't blink twice to buy me PS4, Wii and other consoles so I could actually play games exclusive to each platform.

    The PC master race argument exists because there are games that are released on both the console and PC, and they are better 100% of the time on the PC.

    Also, otherwise-good PC games are bastardized by the need to make them somehow playable on a console controller scheme that just doesn't work for them a lot of the time. That's how you get stuff like the awful, broken menu system of Borderlands 1 on the PC, or Skyrim's menu system.

    It's not that I dislike console gaming, it's just more inconvenient for me and I'm lazy.

    And yeah the PC Master Race thing came from Yahtzee or one of those other British reviewer guys I don't pay attention to.

    So someone taking the piss became a thing that a lot of people legitimately clung to, eh? Ah, internet.

    I cba to play games on consoles. I can do everything I need right here from this seat. There aren't enough games on consoles for me to warrant spending them money on them.
