HOMEWORLDS COMPARED
Your interstellar guide to the PC Gamer and Console Gamer homeworlds
PC GAMER HOMEWORLD Hardware heaven
On the PC Gamer homeworld all gamers play on awesome, pimped out rigs loaded with top-class GPUs, CPUs, RAM and accessories. Games are played at high resolutions and framerates.
Maximum software choice
PC gamers get an unlocked full catalog of games, with exclusives locked to another platform simply not a thing. From the freshest indie games to AAA blockbusters, PC gamers get access to all games.
A world of mods
PC gamers can modify their games as they see fit, with fantastic free add-ons and improvements for games released daily. PC gamers are empowered to flex their creativity and everyone benefits.
Elite portables
Portable PC gaming on the PC Gamer homeworld is also best in class, with the most powerful handheld portable PCs letting PC gamers play their favorite games on the go in high fidelity.
No platform wars
The PC Gamer homeworld is also a peaceful planet that doesn’t suffer from the ‘everyone loses’ console wars that turn gamer against gamer and restricts choice of games due to exclusivity deals.
CONSOLE GAMER HOMEWORLD Hardware hell
On the Console Gamer homeworld all hardware used to play games is compromised in some way, with console gamers having to accept second best when compared to PC gamers.
Limited software choice
Unfortunately, software selection on the Console Gamer homeworld is restricted. A lot of indie games never make it to console, while big AAA games are often locked to other console platforms.
No world of mods
Console gamers have no ability to mod their own games. As such, if something is wrong with a console game on release they are left powerless to act or benefit from free additional content.
Underpowdered portables
Weak, compromised and limited handheld systems are rife on the Console Gamer homeworld. From machines running hardware that is going on a decade old, to half-assed streaming handhelds.
Continuous platform wars
Finally, the Console Gamer homeworld is beset with bitter platform wars. Every night gamers can’t sleep without hearing a rival console gamer shout, ‘my console is better than yours’. Scary but true.
