Go PC or go home. No reason to pay hundreds for a console anymore. I can play any games on my PC. Only reason why some games are console only is for cash grab. All games should be made available for PC.

Everyone is connected to the internet with drivers and patches free, auto-detecting, and auto-updating, and Steam yokes everything together nearly as tidily as the Microsoft and Sony platforms/stores.
