Ah, gotcha.

What part of this implied I was saying one platform is better than the other?

Full Disclosure: I play primarily on P.C.—-Simply because I like the control it affords me and the joy of digging apart it's guts and messing with components., however I typically get a console when there are enough games on that system that…

Never said Nintendo was the only one—-simply said that's what they do.

The thing about P.C. gaming is that when you have a capable P.C., there's really no reason to play a game on console if you can get it on P.C. (Barring the occasional "spite" port that was done half-assed in the hopes of a few extra bucks)

This means that P.C. "Primaries" like me buy consoles solely on exclusives and…

No company should have third party exclusives*

FTFY.

If a company wants to fund a game to be made specifically for their own system, then really, that's just fine.

The problem lies in paying—-or forcing—-other games to be exclusives.

Nintendo Vs Microsoft is a good comparison:

Nintendo, if they want a game made exclusively…

A Super Meat Boy endless runner is the first time I'll ever say that an endless runner is a worthwhile game.

Endless runners are typically among the most barren titles, rarely requiring more than an occasional passive glance—-But now that I think about the concept, SMB not having an endless running mode actually feels…

Give it a different, more colorful texture and it's golden.

Damnit, man!

I hate skinny jeans so much—-They're so counter-intuitive to daily function—-Yet as a 6'3, 220lb guy all I can find is skinny jeans and what amounts to the male equivalent of "mom jeans".

I also carry my 3DS everywhere, my G2, wallet, keys (Hooray for same carry-load!) but luckily i'm one of those weirdos who carries…

Posting an opposing viewpoint on Jezebel is a deathwish.

Never had a problem carrying my XL in my pockets—-Are you like, 5'7" or something? (Not trolling, legitimately curious as smaller guys' pants have smaller pockets =P)

The games industry is *influenced* by society at large, but just like any other subculture, it has it's own set of stigmas, stereotypes, and customs—-While these may be affected by larger societal opinions, they are ultimately unique to the video game industry.

Changing opinions in society at large will ultimately…

What does the perception of women in society *at large* have to do with video games and their sales? All that matters in regards to the video game industry is the perception of women in the video game industry—-Something that people like Anita Sarkeesian and (Recently most notably)Zoe Quinn are pro-actively…

Nope. It's not that they're making games, but their asinine antics and claims that they pull/make while promoting and pushing their games and actively invite controversy to do so.

It ruins the stage for other passionate developers who don't feel the need to be obnoxious pricks to sell their games.

I'd say it's a loaded situation—-How many female developers whose games become high-profile *haven't* becme famous/notable from actively dousing their own games and reputation in napalm?

It's not so much that women get flamed for making games because they're women, but that the few women with enough balls to become…

Eh, women gave a fuck about gaming pre-2005. The difference is that the ones who did weren't the pissy hormonal ones we see now fame-whoring through controversy and they actually understood video games and loved them despite their flaws.

The reason for that stereotype is that the girls who gamed before then were just…

64x/128x is/was my sweet spot—-After that you tend to get huge diminishing returns in visuals vs performance

They've remade the same 3 Persona games 2 times minimum—-Shin Megami Tensei is among my favorite RPG franchises (Historically accurate mythological figures are awesome.) and it is quite annoying to see them focus so much time on what amounts to a parody of their own games—-And not even doing that series justice.

I…
