  • Games haven't been cheaper on PC for over a decade. Newsflash: Games go on sale regularly on most consoles. Usually better deals than PC. I got Dredge on Xbox for $12, lowest its been on PC is $25.

    PCs have a huge range in price but it was literally impossible to build a PC as good as a console for the same price as a console when they released.

    Advantages of consoles:

    Portability: Steamdeck and the Nintendo Switch are far more convenient than streaming PC games to you phone. Even the PS5 and XBOX Series consoles are easier to move around than the majority of PCs.

    Cost: Games are the same price on PC and Consoles in the majority of markets. Steam right now in Canada is actually more expensive than all console storefronts. The intro cost of the machine itself is generally cheaper. On release to get a PC with the same specs as the PS5 you would have to spend $1500 USD. 3 times the price of the PS5 and a game. I just checked pcpartpicker and you still need to spend 800 USD to get a PC on par with the PS5. Still twice the price of the PS5.

    Ease of use: Out of box, without question, consoles are easier to use and have a better set of accessibility options for all users.

    Coop and controllers: Each console has their own controller that is more comfortable than M&K in extended play and more convenient for couch play. Couch coop is almost exclusively a console benefit. Console controllers benefit over K&M in racing games as well and have dead zones for all other types of games. K&M lacking a dead zone feature is extreamly annoying in a lot of games, especially stealth games.

    Maintenance and compatibility: Consoles are easy to maintain. No worring about upgrades or hardware/OS compatibility.

    Gaming options: Without resorting to piracy, consoles offer the largest variety of gaming options. More games release on console than they do on PC. That being said a lot of these games are exclusive to certain consoles. Nintendo is extreamly bad for that.

    PCs do have thier own pros like lack of exclusive games, upgradibility, customization, over all better performance, Minecraft Java edition. To say that consoles have none is just delusional.

  • They never got revived. A third party bought their titles and company title when they went bankrupt.

    The new company renamed a division of itself to Telltale and offered the old devs jobs as temporary contract workers.

    None of the previous workers took the job. They did end up hiring Adhoc Studios (real former TellTale members) to work on TWAU2 after development stalled.

    It should be no surprise that the company is laying off people. They did nothing with the IPs for 4 years besides sit on royalties.

  • Diablo 3 got good much earlier.

    The release of the console version was what spured them to make the game better it was highly praised so they imported all of those features to the PC version.

    Every class having movement abilities, change in the difficulty format and Loot 2.0.

    Right now, Diablo 4 is much better than Diablo 3 was on release. It just lacks an endgame.
