Fanboys and PC Elitism

[DaHero]

PC gamers get treated like shit, half the games they get can literally be called hand-me-downs (that's literally what a port is), while the other half is stitched by grandma and will get you laughed at for eternity if you're in middle school.

Most PC gamers don't argue if more than one console should get the game, but they ARE wondering why they have to be the ones that get the smallest room when their PC makes enough heat to fry itself without proper air flow.

To explain the rage, this means millions of cock&ball (hey Yahtzee said it) combinations, plenty of swastikas/bestiality spam (See 360 custom emblems from BlackOps), and an outright crap-shoot of little kid swimming through the forums wanting to know ALL of the recipes, when in reality Minecraft is more about exploration and experimentation.

Oh yeah, and although Notch said it's a different development team, it doesn't take 2 brain cells to know they're not going to update the PC version until release, IF they even have a release.

I'm rather curious how it's going to work given XBL seems to only allow companies to update their game once for free.

See the Xbox version of TF2 for more info.

This is pretty much the PC Master Race's only saving grace.

I think you're taking this weeks ZP too far.

I'm not. ZP didn't even occur to me. The thread on the Minecraft forums just spurred this because over the past couple months there has been so much console hate (See the multiple DNF threads) and the Minecraft thing was just the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

I'm not trying to attack PC Gaming (I do game on my PC as well as my console), but the whole Master Race notion is just really tiring.

USE THE GODDAMN SEARCH BAR.

Anyway, I see this as a minority of entitled and spoiled asshats. Just ignore them and leave them to rage in peace.

It's not our fault that we care enough about games to pay for a decent and, by all technical measures, a superior console = the PC. ^^

And the "stop whining about consoles ruining the market" argument would be more logical if it wasn't that consoles actually were ruining the market.

I meant that the elitists are a minority PC gamers, the majority of whom are a reasonable anf intelligent community.
(Including myself, as a PC/PS3 Gamer).

I couldn't have asked for anything clearer.

People are dicks.
Some people are so resolute in their dickishness that they'll want to take the fun away from other people.
Just ignore them, it's not worth trying to understand the minds of people so dedicated to the art of dickitude. It's not really a matter of elitism in this case, just a matter of people being dicks.

The 360 port is being handled by a different team, and the games will run on different servers so the worries of Mojang being tied up in the console development are pointless and the worries of the 360 community "poisoning" the Minecraft community are also pointless. So that means all the complaining is... wait for it... pointless.
It's not like if they ***** loud enough the game will suddenly not be ported.
