you get little value for the monetary investment, you complain and fart in the air. It's your choice to invest your money bigly on this particular platform - "it's the way it always has been". yet cry to heaven when they get a shit console port of a highly sought after title that they were looking forward to. You even have corporate slaves on the PCMR community that actually advocate and defend this approach by the major stakeholder companies in question, AMD, Intel, Valve, Nvidia etc."it's the way it's always been". On PC, every one is making clean business, taking little to no risk, while maximizing profit margins, with marketing doing the job on the "enthusiast" market. Can you imagine a console manufacturer saying "it's up to others" with no exclusive software incentive? The consumer would rightfully see the value elsewhere where the exclusive incentives are and migrate. You get what you get on PC, and be happy you get it, cause nVidia ain't ponying up for game development, despite bagging the cash at record profit, and Valve also bags almost all of it with little, if any put back on the industry (it's up to "others" - hands self clean). It thus should be of no surprise why gaming software developers don't give two flying fucks about creating games that take full advantage of the latest cards/hardware, or if the ports are unoptimized messes. On the PC side, outside MS, the majority are just leeching middleman or bare-minimum parts manufacturers - leaving gaming software development, to, and I quote, "others". So, console manufacturers like Sony, Nintendo or MS take the middleman cut but they also invest a lot of that money back into the software development side of the equation. The thing that goes unsaid about console manufacturers, including MS, is that they invest in this industry heavily by funding game development, whether in-house or third party.
