I'm not sure what is your argument here. Do you even disagree with what I've said? And I have no idea what does this have to do with World of Warcraft, this was a reality long before 2004.UpInFlames
What I meant is that undeveloped countries having more PCs speaks more for the importance of PCs on the global scale and that PC gaming is a mere side effect of that development, not anything to brag about in a debate solely on the gaming aspect of a PC.
That's like saying console gaming sucks because of all the annoying kids on Live. Of course, a lot of people are totally into that stuff and some are jerks about it. Nobody's forcing you to associate yourself with them, just play the games. I really don't understand how is that a knock against PC gaming. The community is vast and there are plenty of cool people who are ready to help out newcomers and I see it every day on these very forums.UpInFlames
The amount of jerks in PC gaming is that same as console gaming. I know people who can't play games like Counterstrike and Wow (alliance side) anymore because of all the annoying kids who make the game not fun. PC gaming is worse on this front due to the ease of hacking. Granted this has become MUCH better thanks to advances in hack busting programs, but it's still a reality in online games. I do know that not everyone who plays a PC is a complete jerk, but the level of elitism PC gamers can get to are unequaled.
People who upgrade anything on their PC three times a year don't know what the hell they're doing. That's like me going out and buying three Xbox 360's and five PS3's and complaining about consoles being expensive.UpInFlames
This is interesting, actually. All I ever hear from my primarily PC gaming friends is that new piece of equipment they're saving up fo and tend to buy a major part about three times a year on average. I will admit this is my own life experience talking and it may just be something that's more of a local thing. I wonder if Washington State is more inclined to spend wildly on PCs than go by other means. I also hear that this "overclocking" stuff can ruin a computer pretty quickly, so maybe that's apart of it too. Again, this is all I've ever known about PC gaming I am a bit biased in that regard.
