I can wait literally forever to play a console exclusive and I won't have to because emulation.

It's not even about waiting or patience. I'm not a teenager anymore, so I don't have as much to play games as I used to (and I have now other interests too). I have so many great PC games in my queue I literally won't have time to play them all until I die. The queue only gets longer with time. So what if I can't play some console exclusive? It's just one game in the long list of games I won't get to play and I have no problems with that.

Most likely it is going to be one of those AAA games too and they are all shit anyway in recent years.

I mean, I don't know about you, but I have something like 50 different other games in my backlog. I don't need to play any specific game on a console.

I can wait. Years, even. It'll arrive on Steam eventually. And I'll play it. Eventually.

Same, I don't even want to buy another console, except maybe the new Switch

If the titles are backwards compatible anyways, then it's only a matter of time before we can play them on the SteamDeck anyhow.

I don’t have the tech-saavy for emulation, and I’ll still wait for console exclusives to come out on PC (unless we’re talking Nintendo exclusives I’m actually interested in). I’ve actively waited for Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game to no longer be a Facebook exclusive, and now I’m doing the same for Out Of Scale.

Facebook exclusive? WTF am I reading?

[–] JoshuaSlowpoke777@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Remember when Facebook’s overarching company bought out Oculus? Well, some VR games seem to start out as exclusives on the “quest” headsets. (I know Facebook [the parent company] changed their name to “Meta”, but I refuse to acknowledge that)

Pls save me from the capital leeches.

Yeah there’s a first person NFL VR game, but last I heard, it was still oculus exclusive
