Things System Wars People Need to Know

[QUOTE="R3FURBISHED"]

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

it's still because systems aren't defined by their operating systems.

CaseyWegner

So the PC...is any general-purposecomputerwhose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end user with no intervening computer operator.

That is the first sentence on the Wiki page for the PC.

seems a bit fancy.

I didn't know that exiling the pc was against the rules i honestly feel thats a silly rule. But i guess we have no choice buy to abide by it on swbigboss5ak

Could we ban the usage of console graphics king as well?Stevo_the_gamer

Could we ban creations of ALL graphics kings threads (console or otherwise) ??

Pleeeeeease? :D

Very true Casey. I agree.

But seriously, I say this because all graphics kings threads (console or otherwise) are completely pointless. It doesn't factor subjectivity and variety of styIe. like I said previously (and repeatedly in all other such threads), there is no singular "king", it's all about the diversity of creative art direction.

It's about time this thread was made.:D

I saw it, and it brought the lulz. While the allegations about Mass Effect 2's exclusiveness were ultimately untrue, SW needs some mayhem to disrupt the monotony once in a while. Real estate in the SW stickies is expensive and in limited supply, and I think this space could be better used to include something more pertinent to SW, like the Metroid Other M Hype Thread.

So in a thread discussing how a game like RDR looks better on the 360 than on PS3 will be locked because there is no room for the PC to be included?tbone802

Sorry, but when you get modded for posting things like"joke topic??" you know you don't even need effort on being a good troll.

I certainly agree that PC needs more recognition around here. However, you'll never stop the majority of threads from having a PS3 vs 360centric discussion... at least this gen.

This may all seem pretty straightforward and obvious but some confusion has recently reared its ugly head.

1. A game that exists on more than one platform (including the pc) is not exclusive...at all.

2. This is system wars...not console wars. The pc counts as much here as any other system.
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25865702&tag=topics%3Btitle

If you disagree, find another forum.

3. This is system wars...not company wars. The PC is not a Microsoft platform. It is an open platform. Microsoft just so happens to make the most common operating system and that is also only just one component that makes a PC work.

4. The "console exclusive" term has no place here because it selectively excludes a system that is included in this forum. (see above) Find a better term to use.

5. An already multiplat game going to another system is not an exclusive lost for any system the game was originally on.

CaseyWegner

I don't know why people complain that this wasn't needed. It shouldn't be needed, but when these basics were being ignored or overlooked this sticky is understandable. There's no excuse now.

This thread is even open to discussion and people are taking the opportunity to troll.

Thank you Casey for posting this

Good move on the sticky Casey. Far too long have people been claiming games such as Mass Effect as exclusive while clearly ignoring the fact that its on PC.

This has been long overdue in my opinion. It's frustrating when the PC is constantly ignored and when people talk about "console exclusives".

Good work on finally posting it Casey.
