This will end well, I'm sure.
I've tried to have reasonable discussions with "PC Gaming Enthusiasts" about the very real disadvantages of PC Gaming.
They will just tell you that you're an idiot for imagining that there are any disadvantages to PC Gaming, often with the "learn to troubleshoot" line (I find it funny that people have used that line several times in response to your article, as if they didn't even read it).
Most will also tell you that software piracy isn't a real problem.
Some will say that you can out-perform any current console by spending less than $100 on a build-it-yourself machine.
Some will even tell you that you've been brainwashed by Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo into believing that console gaming is fun.
Many will say that all console gamers are casual gamers, and only PC gamers deserve the moniker of 'hardcore'.
Most will tell you that the fact that the game takes 2-5 hours of troubleshooting, tweaking, and tech support to run at all is your fault.
All gaming systems have advantages and disadvantages. The difference is that the disadvantages for the PC make you want to punch baby seals.
On a side note - don't we usually get banned for starting inflammatory PC vs. Console posts? Isn't that kind of thing usually frowned upon? Why is it okay here?
