You see, I don't play games on consoles because I don't like controllers.

I mean, I'll use them in some scenarios, but the position I need to sit in to hold a controller is usually uncomfortable.

I've been playing PC games since the 90's. I picked up an Xbox one S, and even set it up, and it's been very good at collecting dust since I bought it. I got it used, so no big loss, but still.

I'm not going to pay $500+ for another dust collector, just to have the privilege to pay extra for games, and be uncomfortable playing them, then have no option to switch to a PC later because I only own that game on the stupid console.

It's a waste of my time and money.

And if I really want to play a game with a controller, I can do that on my PC too.

Simply, if I buy a game on console, I'm forced to use that console and it's controller, to play. If I buy it on PC, I can play it however the fuck I want to, on any system I want to. Fuck your exclusivity deals, and fuck you.

While I typically play most games via kb/m; I can't imagine ever playing racing games with it. Nothing beats the analog controls for me on these.
