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.

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.

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

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 5 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
