Why I’m Okay With Waiting After A Console Release For A Superior Experience On PC

Xbox One Is Just Getting Backward Compatibility While PC Has Had Them Forever

Why I Don’t Buy Full Priced Steam Games Anymore
Hint: It’s not only because of Steam’s amazing sales. Steam is a godsend for the PC gaming industry and even the video gaming industry in general. Since I’ve moved to digital downloads, I even haven’t bought a physical boxed copy of a game. The only time I might consider a boxed copy is for special […]
