I think for me I'd like the games be as widely available as possible. Doesn't really bother me but there are some caveats I think that are importanr
1. I think consoles should still have timed exclusivity, and would expect them to. Given the certification process for patches on the console ecosystems, especially with cross play, patch versioning will be important.
2. Pricing. I assume the digital storefronts will be controlled so we don't see Horizon 2 for £59.99 on the PSN store while it's £34.99 from a PC storefront
3. Cross play. I don't want to play with PC players in the majority of cases. From controller differences, to the obvious infestation of hacked savefiles like CoD and Diablo it ruins the game. Happy for others to just get on with it, but I want parity on controls and integrity of game. Level playing field. Concerns multiplayer titles mainly.
4. If they're playing on PSN servers, then I expect a PSN subscription to be mandatory as well (or seperate p2p multiplayer etc)
Generally I would still opt for the console at the moment. I have a PC and I've been in those positions where one game plays nicely with an updated driver and another one doesn't. I also have a console because big picture mode and kb/m or a universal app doesn't work for me. I'd be happy to have an SFF alienware with the console OS and manage my own settings though. Updates aren't generally an issues or AV
