Leave him be, clicking install on steam is way too damn difficult for him
Not so.
He prefers to manually switch games using discs then wait few hours for install and patching to be done.
The games I've been playing don't require either to be installed on the hard drive or receive patches/updates, just straight to the game I go. Yeah, I do prefer to switch discs (or game cards).
Btw os versions remark is epic, i won't even bother to mention i have better backwards compatibility towards console games than his console ;P
I've tried to run really old apps/games on Windows 10 and didn't have any success, so I suppose I'd need a virtualbox for them but when it comes to that then I'm not interested.
Console games have value whilst PC physical games don't really have much or any, except for some.
You can buy PC games at half their MSRP on release day. Two months later, still costs $60 on consoles, can get it for $15 on PC.
That's true. PC games are much cheaper than the counterparts of the console editions but another issue with PC games are the really bad ports such as Arkham Knight.
Cost ends up evening out, it's just a matter of whether you can afford the hardware up front or if you want to get taken for a ride in software costs over the long term.
Let's say a new game gets released, my current desktop machine is unable to run it or at a decent performance, what happens? I'd need to upgrade. With consoles I'm always guaranteed that it'll work although visually it'll be inferior and the framerate may be inconsistent/less than appealing.
And consoles don't have DRM? lol
They do but it's easier to deal with, imo.
Why would I need to resell? I already get them on sale from Steam
PC games aren't really much about reselling, that's a console games thing.
P.S. When's Red Dead Redemption coming out for PC? Oh wait, sorry guys. :3
