If PC gaming ended today, would you buy a console or quit the life?

The title's got the goodies, there's no way around it in this hypothetical scenario, by some freak occurence PC gaming is no longer possible and there's a choice to make today...

 

You either buy a console and suck it up, or you quit gaming forever and go and do something else, PCs can still be used for all purposes apart from actually playing games.

 

I think I can see some prior 'elitists' spinnin' those blu rays in a little black box, paying for online gaming and drinking the kool aid, I think we take PC gaming's perks for granted and complain far too much that it isn't completely perfect, when really it's just made you think a whole bunch about how horrifying it would be to lose it.

 

Who are you really, what'll it be folks?

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

A winner's comment, but the gravity of the compromise is high sometimes.

I'd probably stop gaming all together, and further my devotion to watch great series instead. Competitive gaming is virtually inexistant on consoles. And no, CoD is not a proper competitive sport.

The same can't be said for the limitations and sucking-up we'd have to do for consoles.

I love StarCraft

Would buy a console then.

It's about the games at the end of the day.

 

That's the hard truth, and it's why elitism annoys me so much.

I already have a console... I've games on both for as long as I can remember. It just shifts moe one way than the other every now and then. But having my PC for gaming is not its main purpose so if I couldn't game on it oh well?

Because of the image? I really thought about it before posting because I saw it on Google and it seemed to fit.

 

I won't keep doing it though that's your style I'm not about to steal it.

 

Thanks for the comment anyway. :)

I would think if we all had to quit gaming on a PC, we would be enough demand to make them build us a better console :D

"If PC gaming was over" then could someone cracking open a PS4, putting that hardware in a PC case, cracking the OS, installing Windows and some games, count as PC gaming ?

Well then id gather followers, id gather the men and women, the child of the pc world, we would rally, we would destroy, we will conquer smash everything out of our way. Pc gaming is now the biggest form of gaming, its the most profitable form, anyone dares to challenge us then they are in for a world of pain, we wouldnt go down without a fight, enemies may think they are safe however we would eliminate them one by one, doesnt matter who is. You could be the god damn president, you fuck with pc gaming, you sir you are done, not even god can save you.

 

That or id force my own way and team up with mr and mrs piratebay and create another forum for pc gamers.
