"Forget the historical ties and the author still has a point. One of the comments here includes "I'm sorry if you're a dirty console pleb." That is what this is really about. It is about shaming people. Most of the time it is class-shaming. A decent gaming PC is a fairly large upfront investment. Getting a PC that runs a PS4 game as well as a PS4 does costs more than a PS4. A lot of people can't afford that PC. Shaming people for that is the same as shaming someone for not wearing brand name clothes/shoes/etc. The idea that it is inclusive in that you just have to admit PC gaming is objectively better doesn't help much. *Listen, if you admit that those of us who can afford nice gaming PCs have a much better gaming experience than those of you who can't afford it, you can hang around and look at our hi-res screenshots.* Who gives a shit if other people "recognize that PC is objectively superior to consoles in every way possible." Every way possible is an arguable statement, and how..."
