Some games control better with a gamepad, and some control better with a K&M. This has nothing to do with what platform these games are on. There are plenty of games on the PC these days that play better with a gamepad.

It's a device with the "buy and plug in" simplicity and streamlined gaming-centric OS of a console with access to the PC gaming ecosystem (i.e. Steam) and the ability to be upgraded modularly, rather than having to buy a whole new device every "generation."

I maintain that this show was one of the most accurate translations of a comic book to television/film that has ever been created.

It means you're dead inside, but other than that it's fine.

Not only that, i'm not going to get an OS just to play games.

That's all you got from my comment? Never mind that the basic point still stands, as there are a dozen other non-BC systems I could name.

That's a different situation. Remedy had made the Max Payne games with PC as their lead console for two games prior to that. That's where the Max Payne fans were most avid, and it would have been a slap in the face of those fans to develop for consoles as the primary platform, and water down a game that was known…

I'd argue that Windows needs to work better in multi-display situations without workarounds.

but my point is that if a lot of games I've tried don't run well in Big Picture when using multiple displays

GTA markets more toward the console crowd, though, and plenty of those console players are waiting for next gen. Just because GTA4 sold 5 million on PC eventually doesn't mean those players are chomping at the bit to play GTA 5 like their console brethren are. PC has always been an afterthought for Rockstar.

No, they're not. McD's has had no stake in Chipotle since 2006.

I'm using an Nvidia card, and a free copy of DisplayFusion to easily switch screens back and forth, and can honestly say I haven't had any of those issues. Games run fine when BP mode is active, and switching a program between screens is as easy as a key press. Sleeping Dogs, in particular looked and played great on…

What issues have you had, exactly? That's how I'm set up at home, and for the most part it works flawlessly.

I would call releasing a piece of PC gaming hardware that is easily accessible to console gamers, thus bringing them into the PC ecosystem, and creating more loyal Steam customers, "improving one's niche."

The cat in the Steambox is neither alive nor dead until you power the machine on for the first time.

There's no law stating that if a game developer builds a console their games are exclusive to that console

A PC box with the simplicity of a console, so that console gamers can easily jump into the PC game ecosystem (and become loyal Steam customers).

Remember when they didn't? Like with the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Master System, Genesis, Dreamcast, etc. There are diminishing returns when you just keep making more powerful versions of the same hardware. A redesign in architecture is sometimes needed to make the next step in hardware, and that pretty much…
