Why do you hate PC gaming?

It killed my father and raped my mother!


And I do hope that's not one of the better reasons in this thread :P

Consoles are just convenient. No need to upgrade/optimize hardware. And less expensive.WildTurkey00

I was a BIG PC Only gamer for years.  My reason is three fold.  First the PC used to be the dominant first person shooter platform but in the last 3 to 4 years that has totally changed.  Virtually every good game on PC now makes its way to consoles.  Which brings me to Reason #2 - Whats the point in bothering with the upgrade headaches on PC when consoles are so much easier and playing on my Big screen compensates for the lack of B/M (which is the only thing I miss)

I still keep up with the PC Games and read reviews . I know all about Stalker and Crysis.  But Crysis isn't out and Cry already announced a version for consoles (albeit not exact and as good looking)  But honestly - whats the big deal? I am not graphix obsessed anymore and PC no longer has that amazing visual edge it use to - I can't bother with rebuilding my PC thing anymore.  Crysis will be the best looking game on any platform when it releases. But it won't be the most fun. Which brings me to point three.

Something happened to PC gaming.  All the FPShooters play exactly the same.  All the RTS game play EXACTLY the same .  Eveything is an imitation of everything else.  The really hot thing on PC now is MMORPG which I admit games like WOWarcraft are AMAZINGLY fun and addictive.  Alas, I haven't the time to reach 50 much less 60 levels through that game.  Still if you have a PC and the time I recommend WOW.

I guess PC and I just grew apart.

I am not even going to both with this one. I would fill up a page.

Why do I hate it?
It's difficult.
It's laggy.
And my computer.
(1.6GHz P4, GeForce 6200, 512 RAM)
Which means my Half Life 2 runs at about 6 FPS. Hooray for the Orange Box!

EDIT:
Actually, I play a lot of Enemy Territory and Dawn of War so I guess I still kind of like PC.

Barely anyone here hates PC gaming, also almost everyone here games on a PC, hell, what are they posting with, we all play PC games, including I, and I think consoles are more fun, its my oppinion because I think its somuch simpler, and xbox live is more fun, and the exclusives suit me more fine. So stop it, barely anyone hates PC gaming, they just say its not as good as the hermit fanboys claim. Doomlike_Mitc

Installing. Patching. Cheaters. Carmilla31

I hate it because I have this massive hatred of choppy frame rate. Combine this with my PC which struggles to run Guild Wars on the lowest setting. Also the keyboard isn't my favourite of all controllers (people complained the original Xbox controller was too big... :P ) as I always forget what button does what.

I love PC gaming, hate the fanboys that vomit out ridiculous PC specs unnecessarily but in the same breath claim it's easier than console gaming and that you NEVER have to upgrade, yet their PCs seem to always have the latest videocards...Weird.heretrix

Why do so many people here in System Wars hate PC gaming? I am sure there is a more compelling argument than it costs too much. Just because you can not afford a gaming PC does not mean the PC has no good games. So what is it with you people that so passionately hate PC gaming?
