Boo-freakin'-hoo

As a PC gamer who has long advocated the virtues of my preferred platform, go fuck yourself with a rake you utter shitwank. The value of PC gaming is that there's something for everyone. Yes, technology marches on and we're not all on 486 machines anymore, but it has to march at the command of the market. You don't get to declare everyone who doesn't have the latest and greatest machine with W8 or W10 to be a scrub because YOU happen to be a graphics whore.

jsyk: This right here is why people troll you. Nothing about this secret ret warrants "fuck yourself with a rake, shitwank." Stop being hateful and peoe will stop giving you shit.

amen. op with too much money gtfo.

Go back to /v/.

Wait, so you're saying other people on other machines are negatively affecting your experiences...? I'm not sure I understand how.

Devs make games people will buy. Most people have older, weaker machines. Devs make games that older, weaker machines can run, which means making compromises(graphics quality, effects quality, draw distance, objects onscreen at once, etc.). That sucks for people with newer, stronger machines that COULD handle more demanding games if they were given the chance.

I don't share OP's values, but they do have a point.

I hate having to run my machine hot to play a game it can barely handle, so this really offends me.

I'd like more old-school style games with less animation, honestly.

This right here is why you don't ask for tech support on Steam forums. "It runs just fine on my diamond-encrusted computer anointed with the blood of virgins! What are you, poor?"

This genuinely made me LOL. Cheers!

Ablooblooblooblooooooooooooo.

Yes, I too can't believe that the gaming industry would cater towards the majority instead of a small group for the same prices. Unbelievable.

Both your icon and gif are perfect.

Oh, gamers.

As someone who could only afford a second-hand laptop, fuck you. I was never as happy as the day I realized my shitty laptop could run Dragon Age: Inquisition. That's why I always torrent games to check if they'll run on my computer before buying them.

It's people like you who give PC gamers a bad rep.

Sadly, I took the money that you used to buy your rig and used it to move out of mommy and daddy's basement.

*ded*

Got salve for that burn, OP?

pfft. You're playing the wrong games. I'm hoping to get a beast machine soon so I can take full advantage of the games and the mods for those games.

Nanny nanny boo boo.

I'm going to play some more of my match three games with my fav OS just to spite you. (And before you ask, they're all terribly small, barely use any RAM, and really underutilize the top of the line chipset I play them on.) Neener neener nyah nyah.

It's an amazingly stupid secret. Windows Vista and XP combined have a 15% market share 12.5% of that is legacy business hardware, and my dad, none of whom are buying DX11 games. DX11 is standard from Windows 7 forward.

So, let's talk about who the big stakeholders are in game development these days. Any of the following have more pull than desktop owners who don't have DX11.

1. The console divisions of Microsoft and Sony. Game publishers built for DX9 compatibility because of the XBox 360. You'll see DX12 as a standard when the XBone becomes standard.
2. Laptops, which now outnumber desktops and have slowly been catching up with them on price/performance.
3. Google. Yes, Android is both the biggest operating system and the fastest growing operating system.

Not to mention, DirectX is an API, not a measurement of GPU performance. DirectX 11 and 12 are used on Windows Phone and Surface. Neither API is a magic bullet when it comes to game design, since those low-level APIs are going to be abstracted away by the game Engine.

Yeah, because that's why people don't upgrade. To hold you up. GODDAMMIT, UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES! STAHP! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST EAT CAKE INSTEAD?!?!

Wow. Cry moar, you over-privileged wanker.

Do you have ANY idea how expensive it is to get the newest toys? Some of us poor folks love to game and do what we can to enjoy our lives with what we have. Why shouldn't we, when we have to save up (for MONTHS) to afford the games and computers/consoles we want?

The world doesn't revolve around you. Go back to sucking on your jewel-encrusted pacifier and leave the 99% alone. We broke-ass gamers are legion, and we will still pwn your entitled n00b ass with our slow-as-shit and overclocked Lenovo laptops.

Also? Right now, I'm LOLing at the fact that you clearly created this secret in Microsoft Paint, because your high-maintenance self is too cheap to spring for Photoshop. Seriously, you can do better than that even with GIMP!
