If you bought a ps4, xbone, and switch, at launch and got yearly online for all of them, you've spent $2200 dollars. $2200 can get you a very good gaming pc. Fashionable Jorts fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Jun 12, 2020 |

Fashionable Jorts posted:And how many console gamers only have one console? I don't think I know a single person who only has a PS4, Xbone, or Switch. I just have a PS4 but for a bit there I had a PS4 and Switch. The PS4 is just a netflix machine right now, I'm too spoiled by the SSD's in my PC.

Ladies love Nintendo but "console gamers" treat Nintendo like it's not a real gaming console, I guess because it has games featuring iconic characters like Mario and Samus whereas XBox and Playstation only have the iconic character "child screaming slurs at you over voice chat"

Fashionable Jorts posted:Apparently I have deeply offended them by assuming the listed price of something is accurate. The one month price is literally just there to make the yearly price seem like a better deal. They don't expect that anybody would be dumb enough to take it. It's Marketing 101 for infants but it's not surprising that a member of the PC gaming master race wouldn't know that. To give you an example you may be more familiar with, fast food restaurants often have ridiculously overpriced "small" portions just so that the larger portions seem cheaper in comparison and you start thinking that it's reasonable to buy a heart-attack triggering amount of fries you can't or shouldn't possibly eat.

I'm the guy that will occasionally take the one or three month options. I dont play online games much, so I'll sometimes only pick up a month or two on the rare occasion I play a bit of Call of Destiny or whatever. The free PSN games are very rarely something I feel bad about missing.

you dirty console gamers are being ripped off from overpriced console fees. Don't you see how much you are missing out on by not playing (checks steams current most played games) counterstrike, dota, terraria and team fortress 2!
