True. But once upon a time we could and all was well in the PC gaming kingdom. But not anymore, and that's why I despise all forms of DRM including the mighty Steam, Origin, etc;.At least with a console, you can sell or trade your games. A luxury I can't do on my PC.

See, this is the idiotic outlook that started the "console users are poor" crap in this thread. People like this are the typical PC users master race wannabes that embarrass me as a PC gamer. This type of person and this stupid attitude is what's brought up anytime you want to discuss PC vs consoles. Whoa watch out, you spent money on a PC, big wow! Such amaze! $$$!!!
Not for everyone. My gaming rig strictly loads up Steam on boot and is used for nothing else.
My Macbook Pro is what I'm typing this on. It has plenty of power to do everything else I could want and I'm not stuck at a desk to do any of it.
Plus a tablet for other consumable media's...seems quite archaic if not inefficient to be here typing that post using your gaming rig.
I knew some people that had strict gaming machines back in the day, but that was mostly because of the single-core nature of PCs. Essentially, they didn't want these machines to become bogged down with software that would reduce the performance while in game. However, even those people were pretty rare.
Also, it's definitely not inefficient to post using my gaming machine. My gaming machine is faster and has better specs than any of my laptops (even my MSI G72 Dominator with its 980M), and far more importantly, I have two 2560x1440 screens. That's really the big reason why I could never go full laptop (You never go full laptop! :biggrin -- I simply need the screen real estate, because I'm a big multi-tasker. I'm also really accustomed to dual monitors.
Maybe that sort of illuminates my point a bit. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but ultimately, a gaming machine is really just a PC with a decent GPU. People spend tons of money on other components, and they certainly help in various ways, but they aren't truly needed. However, there are also people like yourself that don't want to be tethered to a chair, and that's fine too. I've posted on here from my Zenbook a few times simply because I wasn't at my PC.
If you prefer it, that's perfectly fine just saying it's a bit overkill for web browsing.
My PC is basically my console and resides next to my PS4 on the big screen.
