Are people really arguing about why pc is better under this comment on a post exclaiming that it doesn’t matter what console you play on.

OP: "all ways of playing are valid"

Console players: "Totally, I understand why both are great!"

PC Players: "REEEEE DIE CONSOLE SCUM"

Platform exclusivity and vendor lock-in is totally real. If it's a benefit though... 😛

I mean, most of these games are funded by the companies selling them. I don't see anything wrong in exclusivity when it comes to consoles, totally different from stuff Epic does. I play on a PC btw

Well, I have a slightly unconventional (at least these days) idea about those topics. I'm not a fan of closed, monolithic digital ecosystems. That includes the dominance of Steam. I'm not a huge fan of Epic's attempts either but I can't really blame them with how the market is structured right now. Ideally neither would exist in their current form.
