What are actual pitfalls or disadvantages to PC gaming?

[Cole5]

For me

More expensive

Irritating with a computer with more than 1 Hard drive or SSD

Errors that are a jumble of numbers with no info

Games just not working anymore

 

None of these issues i have on my Xbone or PS3

Not feeling the vibration of Mad Moxxi’s Guns in borderlands 2.

These are the disadvantages to PC gaming that I can see:

1) More expensive

2) More cheaters (in my experience)

3) Less AAA exclusives

4) Sometimes there are complications with running a game, say the game may be a pc port and you need to patch it, the controls may be optimized for a controller etc.

Lol @Tungsten not even trying to hide your bias, your reactions alone show it

I love PC gaming, and it's basically all the gaming I do now. But that doesn't mean I can't admit that there are clear advantages to console gaming.

For equal performance to a console, both new, with peripherals of equivalent quality, it is cheaper to get a console. That's just a fact. 
There is less work involved in using a console for gaming. Period. 
There are many AAA exclusives, and they often get more attention/dev time (shitty ports generally go from console to pc). 

You know what, I listed this shit already. And everyone knows it...

Many or all of these advantages can be negated by
- being willing to spend more for something better

- finding value in the other tasks PCs perform
- not playing a lot of AAA titles

- liking the control of hardware you get with a PC

And I embrace those ideas every day. but that doesn't stop me from admitting the former.
