Yet when PC gamers say this about games they get accused of being elitist snobs.
My own belief is that I want as many people as possible to play Fallout 4. Like I said what matters to me is that the game is available on my choice of platform.
lmao yes it is the same thing. The current generation of consoles are vastly underpowered compared to PC's. So if Next Gen console owners can whine about last gen consoles holding games back then it is fair to say the "next gen" consoles are holding games back for the PC.
Just because they are accused of elitism doesn't make it true, like I said, there's nothing wrong with wanting to get the most out of your choice of platform.
Getting angry at others because they have the largest install base that then dictates where the bar is set for development is a different story.
I don't think it's fair to get mad at people with different platforms, because they didn't choose that platform to spite you, they chose it because it's what they wanted.
The whole elitism point comes down to how you conduct yourself.
I think that being a PC gamer, you've dealt with this issue for years and feel like you can't express dissatisfaction or else you'll be grouped with people that express themselves immaturely.
There's nothing wrong with wanting the best gameplay/graphics as that's the whole point of moving forward as a medium.
And you can still have the game be acessible as possible without making sacrifices to your core vision.
As I listed in my arcade to home console port example, if the game is developed for PC first, then simple things like draw distance is scaled back for next Gen consoles and lastly things that couldn't be done are removed from last Gen.
The idea is to develop a complete product and then scale back for each platform based on the capability of said hardware
My fear is that the most likely case will happen, being that the entire scope of the game is limited by the original plan that was made to be compatible with last Gen hardware, meaning everyone gets an overall lesser version.
