for all his bitching about his lemon pc he was still able to hook it up to do 720p60 or 1080p60 streams. So im curious what phil actually thinks getting a better pc would do when phil clearly hates PC gaming as a whole, not just that his lemon pc isn't powerful enough to run on high graphic settings.
Phil is clearly one of those guys who's a console fanboy just because he's lazy (no offense to the console players out there), does he want his paypiggies to think he someone gets him a 5k prebuilt that he's suddenly gonna be streaming PC games all day with a greenscreen behind his chair or something?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying a console if that's how you want to consume your games, and is usually the best way for more casual fans to engage with the medium, or if you just have no interest in PC gaming. In reality, Phil doesn't have a good reason to not own a decent gaming PC. Most of the games he's played have come out on the PC at the same time as their console versions, with most being designed with the console in mind. Pretty much every game, whether AAA or the cheapest of indies will let you play by hooking a controller up (some older ones get kinda scuffed and will only work with specific types of controllers) and letting you play it that way. I wouldn't even give a shit if he just said "I don't like PC gaming and would prefer to play on consoles". The problem is how Phil talks and acts about PC gaming (and by extension streaming) paints the picture.
In his head, for some reason, PC gaming is:
- needlessly complicated (see his PC Witcher 2 first boot for a great example of this bitching)
- expensive (granted, expensive to get into, but much cheaper in long term than buying every new console because you can't be assed to learn to replace parts)
- uncomfortable (you have to sit in a chair instead of a couch)
- disingenuous/fake (my personal favourite since he loves ripping on other streamers with PC set ups and how they consume games as fake gamers. A specific recent example is his rage against people with dual monitor set ups and ring lights)
