That was retarded. Go back to the kitchen, games are too difficult for you.

things that make the PC so appealing for many: flexibility, tinkering, modding
and customization.” Not quite true – he needs to replace the “many” with “an enthusiastic but very small niche audience”. The vast majority of PC gamers are neither modders, nor do they use mods (except when they get released as standalone products, a la Counter Strike). Even on PC, most gamers I know don’t use a lot of mods, and on console (where there are far more gamers who play high-budget, immersive games) they care even less! It’s great for the crowd that do, of course, but I think van’t Land is suffering from not being able to see outside of the enthusiast niche (which are likely the majority of people involved in ArmA’s message boards, so this is understandable).

Yup, +1 from me – I game a bunch on PC, but only tried out modding twice – just not worth the time/effort for me, preferred the vanilla game in every instance, and the added instability (mods increased number of CTDs) wasn’t exactly a plus either. Not saying it isn’t great for those that like it, but the modding crowd, relative to the total number of people that play games like ArmA, is pretty small.

Sony doesn’t consider their platforms consoles? What?

News to me, you have a link to that or did you just make that up? If you don’t have a link then your comment holds no weight here.

Sorry, don’t care about any of that. I just want to put a game and play, not be 2 hours messing up with settings, mods and updating drivers. 😉

will be outdated by the time they release and how PCs are continuously
evolving, not to mention the modding community being non-existent on
consoles, van’t Land has a point”

NVidia are obviously biased and sour. PCs are continuously evolving but are also continuously held back by consoles save for some exclusives. As for the modding, fair point but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some form of approved mods appear on consoles down the line.

As for the 4 things he listed?

“flexibility, tinkering, modding and customization.”

Sounds like 4 different ways of saying modding.

Don’t get me wrong, PCs will always have the edge over consoles hardware-wise.
