The PC community has slowly shifted towards buying/preordering 'full price' games and succumbing to micro(macro)transactions in the same way console markets do. But I don't think buying a whole other device is on the menu for most.
You are correct there, but I felt the PC community was a lot more patient and less willing to pay large amounts for games. They did however spend in their own games, MMO subscriptions, DLCs etc. It's more the initial cost of games that we were more likely to object, but MTX has always been a problem since it's introduction. League is selling a $500 dollar skin, the fact people don't quit over things like that existing just shows how much we have succumbed.
I feel console generally buys whatever latest thing is marketed to them and they play that. PC generally tries the new thing then slowly they return to their comfort games they have been playing for 10 years.
Hi. When I got a new phone a couple weeks ago, it came with this really nice, name-brand (not giving names here) phone case. It’s really rugged and feels great on the hands. It’s also one of the most premium phone-case options out there....
Consoles have always been cancer for walled gardens and anti-consumerism, so it's just expected unfortunately. Would be great for VR in general if all the hardware was platform agnostic. I'll never personally recommend Meta hardware, due to the aforementioned practice, but they are the only ones still pumping money into it. Guess we will see what happens when Valve's next headset is released.
Walled garden issue. Facebook essentially bought out a bunch of shit Epic Games style for exclusivity for their store. They also take a loss on the Quest devices and people buy them because they are cheaper. They fucked VR, it should have all been cross-compatible from the get go.
5 is simpler, but still with a lot of depth and a high skill ceiling. 6 just added more systems without much rhyme or reason. That's what I felt anyway, I also massively preferred 5's art style.
