What holds you back from PC gaming? Price, Patience, Friends?

I wanted to play PC but at first it was too expensive. I knew eventually I would be saving money but at the time I didn't care about eventually. I know now if I got a PC I wouldn't have got into boxing. Plus I find consoles a lot more fun when friends come over, it's fun to hook up a few controllers and play GTA around a tv.

That's true, playing FIFA is usually the game of choice when a few of us play together. The WII U has some very good games for light-hearted, all out fun when friends are over.

Oh wait I do pirate games.

For my Playstation 1 & 2, PSP, Nintendo Game Boy Adv., DS, Gamecube, and Wii systems. (emulators)

I also (can) pirate most to all arcade games in existence.

Been pc gaming since 2003, i have played in console games during that game of course but the vast majority of my gaming is done on pc. Mostly on steam nowadays, i have a bunch of real life(and internet friends) that i have been playing with for years, plus my girl games on pc aswell.

Pc gaming is not really that expensive nowadays, you can get a rig that will run most games on high settings for 500-800 usd, and it will last you easily as long as a generation of console. Add in the fact that you will be able to afford games at ridiculous prices on pc while pretty much every single release on consoles will cost you 60$.

But hey i'm not here to debate, play whatever you like, i just personally prefer pc gaming.
