Weird, I think the whole PC console game war was relevant when I was a kid and everything was new and cool, but I think at this point the whole "who's winning the console war" feels immature and is holding the industry back.

Like others have said, I don't really give a shit what content runs on, so as long as it runs. Better if things run well and I can take them with me like the deck.

You can make the argument about why it's better to play content on a PC but what's the point of the comparison? Why does it matter who is better? In an ideal world, everything would run great on affordable PCs that everyone has access to, but I don't think we're at that reality.
