Is it worth it to ditch consoles and just get into PC gaming? (hexbear.net)

Serioid question here.... I've been so attached to consoles growing up though it will be a bit of a big change.

Pc means a backlog that goes back like 40 years, and will likely be forwards compatible for quite some time.

You miss out on console exclusives, but many of them get ported to PC. The ones that don't, you can often eventually emulate on PC.

I have my PC set up so I can plug it into the TV for couch co-op.

You can also mod pc games.

Consoles haven't been an appealing choice for me for many years.

You miss console exclusives, but you get the rarely mentioned PC exclusives, because there's no incentive to market them as such. Most of the best games I've ever played are only available with a computer. Meanwhile console exclusives are general the bland mainstream games.
