8.5 million players online at once on Steam
8.5 million players online at once on Steam
certainly, your point about the 8 million is valid, but it overlooks other factors. your main claim hinges on PCs offering more options, while consoles dominate in volume. though PCs excel in certain areas, they aren't universally superior. you mentioned a budget build with a 7850 or higher and asked for a prebuilt option—let’s find one that matches. PCs can still be competitive in many aspects, but until a better alternative emerges, it's hard to label them definitively the best.
It only highlights that Xbox and PS4 outperform others. Despite numerous Steam users who enjoy the platform, they still favor their devices. A PC falls short against these consoles.
I’m after a couch experience. Newegg just offered a deal on an Xbone for $350. It came with the console, controller, live subscription, a $40 gift card, and a headset. After subtracting the $40, you’re left with $310. After taking off $30 for the headset (which can be seen either way), you’re down to $290. That leaves $60 after subtracting the controller’s cost—around $240. If you were to go with Assassin’s Creed, you’d spend about $190. The total comes to a significant investment, but once you set it up at home with internet and HDMI, it feels worth it. PC might be better technically, but the price tag is unbeatable. I put in a lot more effort than just plugging in three items.
Call of Duty is enjoyed by twelve-year-olds who spend their time downloading aimbots and asking for help online... Yes, I've played COD too—it's not terrible, but those kids mess everything up. It feels a lot like PewDiePie, making fun of COD while posting his first gameplay clips.
