And you may notice, I didn't say that it was. I said I found it hard to feel empathy for PC players as they stand on a literal mountain of PC only games.

Yes and I just wanted to point out that this isn’t a choice of the devs (most of the time) but rather consoles being a walled garden.

Because I think it’s unfair to say that you shouldn’t have empathy for PC gamers just because they have so many games already. Do the 100 indie games I can buy for <5€ really make up for the inability to play GTA6 or Death Stranding 2 (early)?

Console exclusivity always hurts the consumer and is, in my opinion, a legacy practice.
