I have a couple of friends who are super into PC gaming and they seem shocked when I tell them I'll never build a gaming rig and start playing PC games. So I figured I'd list the top five reasons why I'll never get into PC gaming. There is no particular order here so view this more as a list and not a ranking.
1. Too Expensive
I feel like it is way too expensive to get into PC Gaming, especially with all this crypto currency nonsense happening. As someone who has only a weak laptop to do all of my computing I'd have to spend money on more then just some RAM to get a Gaming Rig. A monitor, tower, keyboard, mouse and all the computing bits ends up being way more than a console and way more then what I'm willing to spend.
2. Warped Expectations
One of my fears of PC Gaming is that it is so awesome that it would warp my expectations in such a way where I could no longer play console games. Only 30 fps? Only 1080p? I can't play this!
3. Too Much Tinkering
The last thing I want to do after putting a game in is to mess around in settings for a hour and a half to make sure the game runs good. I already find some of the PS4 Pro choices in some games to be kind of annoying. I can't imagine all the nonsense sliders I'd have to fiddle with in a PC game.
4. Mouse and Keyboard
The keyboard is great for typing and my daily computer use, but using it for video games? Forget about it! There are so many keys on a keyboard just thinking about using it to play a video game is dizzying. And before people say "You can use a controller!" I like competitive FPS games. And using a controller against mouse and keyboard users would mean a super not fun time for me.
5. Too Many Cheaters
Another big reason why I avoid PC gaming like the plague is because of all the cheaters. PC gaming is like the wildwest where anything goes. So many hacks and mods chomping at the bit to ruin your gaming experience. I can't remember the last time I encountered a cheater on console and if I did it was because they were exploiting a glitch in a game and not installing the latest wallhack mod.
