Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8

In summary

  • lack of risk taking by the industry
  • lack of creativity
  • industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
  • removal of split screen
  • outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
  • disabled voice communication by default

For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?

    I usually stick to PC which has a stellar track record for backward-compatibility and emulation capability, or with last-gen consoles that have an established game library.

    I’m not going to buy a next-gen console based on promises and hypotheticals.

      Pretty much this. Haven’t bought a console since 2010. Fully on Steam.

      Games from forever ago work. And now it’s portable on Steam Deck.

      Unless you’re obsessed with the latest releases, PC is great. Even exclusives are getting on Steam. The only thing that’s not on PC is Nintendo… “Officially” anyways.
