Because I'm a Gamer! A Gamer! The most oppressed minority on the planet!
But the author's actual reason is:
Our hobby deserves better from the companies that made their billions on the backs of PC gaming
Which seems about as true as saying Microsoft made their billions on the backs of PC gaming.
we could always stop buying stuff there's a shit ton of good games that run on low end hardware
They have been starving the market for months. All part of the plan.
Speak for yourself
