I never understood how people can get so enraged over others' playing preferences.

Prefer the wii? Cool
Getting an Xbox One over PS4? ****************
Play nothing but PC? Hooray.
How does it affect my life? No one bit

Games are games. Didn't mean to ran

"There's a lot of players out there, especially players coming from mobile games, who are accustomed to micro-transactions. They're like "I need this now, I want this now". They need instant gratification. So we included that option in order to attract those players, so that if they're 5000 Tungsten short of this upgrade, they can have it."
- John Calhoun, Dead space 3 director on why the **** dead space 3, a console/PC title has microtransactions

Well, when a company develops originally for consoles, it often affects the PC game in having worse graphics, sometimes worse controls, and sometimes even having less units of something on a map than it could have had if developed directly for PC. So, when more people play on console, it gets more tempting for the developer to develop for console, maybe even exclusively for it. So yeah, it affects you no matter the platform you play on. Also, the chaos theory.

The same reason people get enraged over TV shows, religion and music.

I was a bit annoyed about the Xbox One, because if it sold well, they would know they could get away with not allowing the sale of used games and keeping everyone constantly connected. And perhaps then, Sony would think "Well, if our competitors can sell their console well like that, we might as well do that too with the next one. More money!". I don't mind if it definitely doesn't, and never will, have any effect on me.

Reading over that, it looks like it someone might infer that I don't know about them back-peddling in spite of the past tense. Just ruling out that possibility.

This is how I feel whenever someone talks to me about their problems. Especially if it's on the Internet.

Its also odd how many people now like to brag about how nerdy they are. When I was in school you normally tried to hide it.
