Have consoles held back PC gaming?

[Stunt]

I think I lloll'ed a little. Consoles that just works. Consoles that just put disc. You may find that that was, but it isn't like that anymore.

Glad I could make you laugh, you're grammar has the same effect Having been on Console for the last 6 years, I kinda know that is exactly like that. If you're referring to RRoD, YLoD, drive errors etc. Similar things have been around since the PS1. So yes, it is 99.99% put the disc in and play.

No you are in fact not getting it:
Steambox is to separate gaming from windows, that is the prime directive. Because Gabe was lazy a bastid and only when windows 8 arrived, he only then waked up and decided the deed must be done.

That's a lot of speculation. Which I accept as your opinion, nothing more.

However... nothing stopped him or Notch or whomever to do this a lot earlier, but they were all just cashing on the free ride. Funny thing this linux getting more and more love now, magically, when the ride has changed.

You seem to be lacking plenty facts. Would you please supply sources to these accusations?

If you are going to bitch about grammar at least get yours correct: It is not you're it is your. You do know the difference right?

Its called logical deduction.

Shall me do a simple one?

a) before windows 8 no complaints
b) after windows 8 complaints

Deduction: windows 8 changed the game.

See ?

No, actually it's called blatant assumption, which you base as factual in a world where public voices have been granted to all via the popularity of Social Media. People aren't ashamed to be using it any more and have found effect in their combined voices. Thus the complaints.

So, it stays your opinion. The fact that you pulled a fast one:

I think I lloll'ed a little. Consoles that just works. Consoles that just put disc. You may find that that was, but it isn't like that anymore.

Expecting me to lap it up as truth when it's factually not, is "lloll". That also has me question your debate manner, if it's backed by assumption and opinionated drivel, it remains that, your opinion - which I don't care to change.

So using logical deduction: By you, evidently, pulling facts out you rear-end, I simply deduce that you're not to be trusted and arguing with you will sadly only lead to an endless cycle of "No, you!" like behaviour from you.

So please, I accept your opinion as that. I just hope that there's more to the Steam Machines than what you "think" there is.

Have a good weekend

< you're [opinion] hard at work >

Of course.

Have a good weekend

Remember to practice you're grammar

This has been debated so many times but pc's have always received ports of console games ever since the early 90's

virtua fighter 2 1997 - port (saturn)
colin mcrae rally 1998 port (psx) , cmr 2 2000 enhanced port (psx)
need for speed 3 - enhanced port (psx)
need for speed 4 - graphically enhanced but ai degraded port (psx)
gta 3 - port (ps2)
nfs hot pursuit II - port (xbox 1)

the list goes on and on and yet there's always a thread asking the same question everytime, without consoles pc gaming wouldnt advance if it wasnt for the 32 bit console era there probably wouldnt have been pc gpu's and everyone would probably still be stuck with 512kb trident vga cards.

Including the recent Nfs Rivals, wish it had been built from scratch. Hardly any "proper" graphical options, stupid 30fps cap and unstable game with ridiculously slow frame rates in certain areas.
