"PC Gamers Are Like Racists" "Arrogant Twits" - Michael Pachter

Link

“I think PC Gamers are like racists; they only like there own kind and they have no interest in venturing out and mixing with other races. PC gamers are arrogant twits who are convinced what they do is better than what anybody else can possibly do,”

"PC gamers are arrogant twits who are convinced what they do is better than what anybody else can possibly do," continued Pachter with his explanation of why PC gamers wouldn't be tempted by Sony's new PS4 Pro.

"However if you were an Xbox owner and you’ve always wondered what it's like to be a PlayStation owner, this is a great opportunity.

After all of the terrible predictions, this is what will finally end his career.

Well, they do refer to themselves as the Master Race so ya know, just sayin. :P

He sounds like another California Liberal. Useless.

Damn.... being tech savvy and liking the best gaming experience possible is so racist!

Meanwhile you have Xbox fans and playstation fans arguing all the time? whats the difference? oh right .... the "Hermits" superiority complex is objectively justified.

As nearly every PC gamer I've ever met also owns at least 1 console its another stunning success for Pachter.

10/10 Would totally believe anything he says for clicks and attention.

Didn't he at one point claim you needed a 1500$ PC to match a PS3 in 2009 or something?

Well new breed PC Gamers tend to be arrogant snobby annoying self righteous elitist. Not all but definitely the new breed.

That sounds like literally every single gamer who decides to attach themselves to pieces of plastic.

So what we really should take away from all this is that gamers are just scum in general.

I'm no Hermit but I do like to game on PC nowadays and I haven't even turn on my Xbox One in 2 months now but that doesn't mean I hate it, I just prefer to use my PS4 as my main entertainment console then my Xbox One. Do I sound racist to you Pachter?!

I kind of agree with him. Look at many PC gamer's actions/posts online and he is pretty spot on. Same goes for any fanboy camp.

No, it is like the Slave Master still having relations with the slaves.

Fanboyism, yet another PC exclusive

It is always right to say Pachter is always wrong

That's true for gamers as a whole. Not just PC gamers.

Great, now I am a racist and an arrogant twit. I just can't win.

Dumbest fanbase of anything ever.

I remember Newegg sending me a message saying I'm a racist twit when they sent me my 970 graphics card.

If enjoying PC gaming better than consoles makes me a racist, then I'll take that with pride.

PC Elite Racist here. Go **** yourselves.

(PS, I own a XBO, and PS3, but they're just my secondary class citizens...you know)

Clear case of the pot calling the kettle black. If he was to come out and say anything even remotely close to that about Xbox or PlatStation gamers, the relevant company would have him in court faster than he could finish his next incorrect prediction. The man's a fool and a joke.

Edit: Why am I not surprised that this has been published by a gutter trash tabloid?

You know he has no arguments, when he needs to use the racist-card. Because hating people based on appearance which they can't control is absolutely the same as telling other players why the PC is the best option. And it is, objectively. Sure, you might want to play on consoles as well, I do it all the time, but objectively PC is by far the best system around.

Right? I've got a $2,500 pc, $800 monitor, $3k home theater, but I'd be too cheap to buy their $300/$400 consoles? It's true...if you own a good gaming rig, you probably have one or both consoles. I have 2 Xbox One's and a ps4.

Well being primarily a verified hardcore PC gamer, I am disturbed by this outrageous comment.

Yeah, I was pretty sure nobody here paid attention to him anymore.

Let go of the anger, Pachter. I know you read SW. Stay classy. <3

@blue_hazy_basic Interesting point you make. I'd like to know the numbers. I don't know of a PC gamer who doesn't have at least 1 console. But I know plenty of console gamers without a PC. Maybe PC gamers as a group are in that sense the best informed. It would explain the many top x lists without Nintendo/PC titles.

Urgh. The world would be a better place if people would stop listening and reacting to stupid crap spouted by attention-seeking loudmouths.

Yea... no. nice try though.

People trying to put themselves on high horses over what is simply banter are the real social rejects here.

System Wars, not Fanboy Wars.

Well a Wii U/PC (or any Nintendo console) has always been the best combo since you really can't play Nintendo games anywhere else and I know very few PC gamers own a Wii U. PS3/4 can also be added depending if that PC gamer wants to play Sony exclusive games.

But really though, does it really matter if a PC gamer owns a console gaming as well?

He must have stock in Sony, or else he wouldn't be so butt hurt over PC gamers not wanting to buy their shit.

@speak_low: So just because this gamer has a PC that makes them PCMR to you huh?

Hah and what harm has it caused exactly?

While the Sub-reddit does poke fun, it also has lots of helpful topics, and is generally a place to discuss PC gaming in general. and dwarves the size of most other gaming subreddits.

In reality no... but for SW purrposes it could be interesting...
You're right about the best duo combo.

You know you're very friendly for a villain? Hmm. I suppose being nice and evil are not incongruent. I'll be careful.

Denounces stereotypes made by one group (a group that does not even represent the majority of people that like the PCMR fun... hell they even denounce people like that "Don't be this PCMR guy" etc.) ... then spouts out a bunch of assumptions ad stereotypes... suddenly the pedestal is gone.

IF you took 2 seconds and clicked my sig, you would see the majority of setups are mid-range modest... and people are not abusing them for it.

Most abuse/banter/critique/arguements involving console gamers often stem around mis-information and point how the limiting factors or ways Sony/Microsoft Milk every casual gamer for everything they are worth (often to the point where the PC would of been the cheaper option).

Sigh. When are the Pachter threads gonna stop? Can't we just ignore this idiot and not give him attention?

Sure, you are not talking about console elitist like yourself.

You should be asking yourself this (even though the statement is wrong anyway).

"Those" people you refer to existed long before PCMR, and exist on ALL SYSTEMS, all mediums anything.

PCMR is pretty lighthearted, if you can't work out the answer to your own question then your sod out of luck.

600k people subbed to PCMR ... are they all arse-holes? ya... probably not even a fraction are.

exactly, hardcore fanboys of any creed are all equally idiotic. This guy is still a shit head

@Litchie: I agree that the normal Pachter prediction threads should stop. But when the man calls a group of gamers racists, I think it deserves attention.

This sounds like something Donald trump junior would say...

Looks like someone hasn't played on xbox live before lol

He is right though. Thats a funny quote. PC gamers hurt gaming.

This is exactly the reason why I never listen to anything he has to say, he's a lying idiot that thinks he knows everything and is only right 5% to 10% of the time.

Holy generalisation Batman!
