no no to buy the Remastered version of that Remastered game so later they can do another Remaster of that same game u bought so u can spend anothert 50$ instead of the 6$
By the way, we literally have a WHOLE STOREFRONT dedicated to selling and maintaining old games on PC. That is GoG. We love our old games and respect games preservation.
I genuinely don't know why "old does not equal bad" is such a controversial opinion for the console folks. I just recently picked up a few older games during the steam sale this year, and I've been having a lot of fun with them. And even on the consoles some of the best games are old games (where's my godforsaken Bloodborne PC port, Sony?!?).
@@unscblackbeltgi5893 I would say console fanboys have been conditioned to expect full priced remasters instead of properly preserving legacy games, but let's be honest, the console fanboys wanted it to be this way so they could pay more like the good little paypigs they are.
Yep, the only new games i've bought are some remasters of old games and Wukong lmao. Literally couldn't care about any of the new games rn, although 2025 is looking interesting with some new releases.
yeah and in 2024 there was onl y3 games tha tcame out tha treally interested me. No ttha tit bothers me as I have tons t oplay or even replay as I'm going through the Dragon Age games agsin atm
Yea and we have more games as some never touch console (gladly some don't) but i'd want more people on certain games. and sad iconic IP's never touched PC to be preserved!
It’s almost as if it does not matter about the age of the games if the games are good. Also PlayStation guys saying Xbox gamers also don’t play new games.. Maybe they should take a good look at the most played games on the PS5.
Yeah this doesn't surprise me, have these fools forgotten about mods? I literally got thousands of hours into games like Terraria and Binding of Isaac because of mods.
"Pc gamers don't play new games" Says the fanboys who get locked out of their older games because their favourite company couldn't care less about backwards compatibility. Let's see them play mgs1 and 2 , castlevania SoTN, OG resident evil 4 on their PS5Pro
It's not 85% of users not playing new games. It's that from 100% of our time playing games, on avarage, 85% of it we are not playing new games, which makes sense. Why would that be a surprise?
I can sort of understand why. I recall when the PS2 came out and the launch lineup for the first year was not as robust, people online said “other than the Matrix what can you play on the PS2”. The answer was all the PS1 games I hadn’t got around to playing. There a segment of gamers that think new is good, old is bad. Don’t know why but they clearly exist.
@TNTITAN Yeah, and now things are different not only because we get huge discounts on older titles during sales, but also, because online games are much more popular, so the avarage amount of games people play on Steam in a year is 4. Clearly the majority isn't playing new titles, like on any other gaming platform. I spend most of my time on DOTA 2, CS 2, Forza Horizon 4 and Guilty Gear Strive. Then older titles or a new game I got, which is usually really popular, like Dragon's Dogma 2, Silent Hill 2, STALKER 2 or Black Myth Wukong. If the are on Game Pass, like Indiana Jones, Yakuza or Persona, then Steam doesn't even count those. There is a very famous RUclipsr who streams really often, and plays newer titles all the time, called elrubius. He played over 180 games in 2024, and his time spent on new titles was 59%, more than anything thanks to new multiplayer titles, or games like Satisfactory, because his PC was turned on while he was farming AFK. Those are numbers almost no one can reach assuming they are active gamers playing a lot of single player games. You will run out of good games to play quickly, unless you jump to the indie market and you stay there.
These are the same people that will say a decade later that Last of Us is the greatest game ever made and play through it for the 73rd time lmfaooo especially now that the remaster of the remaster came out
For me the only game I would ever play for that many times, if not more would be the Mass Effect Trilogy, and I'd probably burn myself out after like the 20th-30th time and never touch it again. And for me Mass Effect is the one of the Greatest Stories/Games ever made.
The funny part is that a good percentage of PC gamers want those console ports for 1) Game Conservation, and 2) To support those developers who are limited to exclusive release
I heard this one idiot on RUclips say it’s cause “only 15% of PC players have a Build that can play modern games” 😭 He also went on to say you need a “4090 to be able to play modern games, just get a ps5 pro instead” …🥴
I just had someone on Twitter try and tell me TLOU did better than any COD a week after it came out. After I sent them a link with the actual numbers, they backtracked hard. Saying it was my fault I didn't know they were talking about TLOU2.
PC gamers get loads of games for dirt cheap through Steam sales and Bundles (humble & Fanatical). As well as tons of free games from things like Epic and Prime gaming. Like yeah, we already have so much worth playing its not worth paying 70 bucks for the newest thing. But somehow having loads of games bad thing for some people??

As a console player on Xbox i more often play older games, and before I get remarks, yes there are plenty of new games. Can't beat fallout, sea of thieves etc etc etc. I just find older games are often better.
Haven't been really interested in the games since 2020 in a sense. The thought his there to get them, when I see them but not the motivation to actually play, so i don't and play older games. The last years warframe was always the top contender. The only game that could change this is the new monster hunter
my steam year said i played mostly new games, but my favorite was Sleeping Dogs a game from 12 years ago that i had in my backlog for ages. I do love all the people with profile pics of game characters from games older than 1 year, really telling on themselves.
that's why i rarely vote in players' game awards, i usually have played like 2 titles per category and i don't want the award to just become a popularity contest so i dont vote altogether 😭
Funny enough, consoles also very much struggle with trying to get more playtime in games coming out that respective year because Fortnite and GTAV exist to soak up all those precious hours away from new titles.
Tbh those comments are funny for me mostly because if you look on most popular games on consoles you'll see games like Minecraft, Fortnite, GTA V etc. And from newers ones you'll see new COD or new FIFA (EA Sports FC). 9:52 Don't worry, one day you'll got it right.
5:45 - I feel attacked... I've got a bad habit of buying a lot of Steam games, then never playing them. Getting 8% of the achievements would be an improvement for me... 😅
Your not alone there friend, I do the same when there is a Seasonal Sale on Steam or even if its just a normal day/weekly Sale. I have almost 2,000 games (not counting all the free games you can freely add) and only played like a fraction of my games library. 🤣
But I’m still in the middle of Indiana Jones 😔 How will I be able to finish it now when console gamers say I’m not allowed to play 2024 games in 2025 😭
PC gamers don't play new games bec we'd rather wait for the game to be complete (not the beta release which most new games are) and on the cheap... specifically $5 below on a steam sale.
Since I fully became a PC gamer in 2017, I've become really cheap and I really don't wanna buy a game unless its on sale for 65% or more off or basically $15 or less 🤣, I will only pay $20 or more if it wont go on sale below that or if its a game I really want like when Mass Effect Legendary Edition released.
You're funny. After this video I need to add some amusing new phrases to my phrases library. 1. "Are you made of bananas and eggs in a bowl?". 2. "I'm going to start eating plants out of pots".
150 million players is more then enough to make a video game break even The problem is that the newest developers in the modern industry just make bad new games and price them at 90 bucks or some crap.
These same people told me im not a gamer because I dont get 100% of the achievements before moving on to the next game. Apparently simply beating the game is not enough to be a gamer anymore to them anyways.
My Steam Year in Review says that in 2024, I played 22 different games. The median on Steam is 4. I spent a third of my time playing games that released in 2024. Tell me more about how PC gamers don't play games, console cavemen.
I don't know if it was brought up as i was too busy sighing from the stupidity, but these console gamers might be thinking old games are bad because they can't actually play them anymore, and thus must be thinking we can't play ours either. Not many games ever get the ability to be cross platform like not being able to really even play ps2 or ps3 games anymore afaik. Pretty sure there is a subscription thing or something that lets you do so but the disk doesn't work. which is very lame.
I feel this as well. On PC we literally have GoG, a storefront dedicated to making old games work on new PCs. There is not this same sense of game preservation on console. And a lot of the console execs push this idea that the only games worth it are the new "hotness".
I say we are more gamers than them simply because we never stopped appreciating the older games that will alway be good. Not to mention that a buch of games released in 2024 kinda sucked so I'm not surprised by the 15% statistic. Also many people on PC only play one single game competitively and that goes on for years, regardless of what new games come out.
Only on PC do we have a storefront MADE EXCLUSIVELY TO KEEP OLD GAMES RUNNING. And even GoG is CRIMINALLY underused for a company where you keep your games from the start.
@@Darkeus1 you are absolutely right. I love using GoG whenever the game I want is available there. Basically the only problem with GoG is that because of their DRM free policy they simply don't offer all games.
I sometimes buy games at launch, thinking I'm going to play it immediately. But then I get the sudden urge to finally play, say, Trails from Zero recently, which I think I also bought at launch a year or more ago. I TRY to only buy at full price if I'm seriously excited to get to it. It has steadily become less frequent over the last decade.
If they think that only playing the latest releases of games is what makes a real gamer, then they're only surface level casual gamers themselves, not willing to indulge in the very rich history of actual GAMING.
To all the ponies claiming PC and Xbox gamers don't play new games, you just need to ask them one question. If Concord only sold an estimated 15,000 copies on the playstation... Why ddn't you guys support the devs and buy/play Concord?
Unrelated to the subject, but man, that TMNT game, I used to be in love with it ages ago when I was in like 4th or 5th grade. You have given me some nostalgia.
The people saying that playing these classical games and retro games makes you a fake gamers are in fact the true fake gamers. If you don't respect the classics and retro library, then you aren't a gamer, you're a tourist. EDIT Take me for example, I have the Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster on Xbox, Switch and Steam, and on Steam and thanks to mod support and discovering a randomizer on it, I've already clocked in nearly 500 hours on the game.
Oh and btw the only cnmplaint i ever had about PC gaming is a plus and thats - there is so much choice and too much lol , hmm what to play 1st , takes me 30 mins or more each day to decide as i got 500 +games just on steam yeh i know thats not a lot compared to lotta folks , kk peace out , thanx joe ^5.
Schrodinger's gamer were simultaneously broke and PC gaming is too expensive the console peasants decided which one is more convenient for there argument
If the platform didn't launch that year, the majority of games for that platform didn't launch that year, so it would be weird if the majority of time played was games from that year
I have like 100 games in my backlog that i wanna play, i just never buy a game new, like no point in paying more money for something that will drop in price fast enough
Unlike consoles, our games on PC don't have a shelf life. When we upgrade our hardware our old games don't suddenly become incompatible because the new hardware manufacturer didn't decide to add backwards compatibility
Yup,that is why I played 500h Stalker Gamma mod,about 1000h 7DtD,modded Witcher 3 mod overhaul and new games??Not sure now but lets say Stalker 2 just 60h They don't get we have mods,complete overhauls of the games that are basically new game,that is how much they are changed but hey...I played nothing
15% of the time on Steam (let's forget about all the other stores on PC) is spent in new releases. Do they not understand how much time was spent gaming on Steam? Let's spitball numbers here: On average, there's 10 million gamers in a game on Steam at any given time. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but 10 million is a good number. This is concurent, so this is playing right now. Daily that means there's 240 million hours played on Steam. That would place the rough math estimate of 87.6 billion hours played last year. That would mean 13.2 billion hours of Steam game time was spent on games released in 2024. That's equivalent to 1.5 million years. But 15% sounds like a low number, :)
If anything it shows how massive the PC gaming crowd is if 15% of our playtime still beats or is equivalent to the numbers put up by console players. like how do they not get this?
@johnnylawrence7509 ??? Im confused how that statement in anyway is associated with what I said? Like i cant even unravel that? Are you saying people who watch bollywood movies cant be film buffs if they havent seen the Latest Hollywood movie? Or you cant be a fan of movies unless youve seen every Bollywood film? Like what are you saying? Im very confused. Yeah bollywood makes more movies than hollywood, but no one is accusing them of not making movies, console players are saying that because pc players only spent 15% of their time playing current releases that pc players dont play games. Or did you not watch the video?
I play loads of games, and so what if they're "old". Steam and GoG arekilling it in sales of games to PC gamers like me. Just this year I bought the Mafia Trilogy, the Pathfinder series, a copy of KCD for a friend, DOS 2, RDR2, and so many others. What did a console player buy? More months on a service and likely a new controller as their's got stick drift. These jokers need to grow up. The PC market is crushing consoles because we do have so many choices to buy and play for far longer than when the next console generation comes out.
I actually go back and forth between PC and console gaming... and I also keep my older consoles around, as some older games used to not play well on PC, and thus Id turn to the console release. And tbh, I have MORE fun playing my PS2 and 3 games than I do my PS5 games.
These days there is zero reason nor logic to buy games day 1, and yet console fanboys seem to think that hype alone or "cus it's new" are logical reasons to wade through bug riddled, expensive messes. I'd rather go through my backlog until the newer games are patched up and have gone down in price, because going about it that way gives me minimal risk and also lets me take a second look at the game months to a year later to even see if it's worth the purchase or not. This whole notion of "dive in, don't ask questions, spend big" makes some of the fanboys sound like literal casino gamblers high on copium.
Pretty much what a collective IQ of 70 looks like. 15% of the time PLAYING GAMES were spent in the new releases, and now Steam users aren't playing games? PC platform is in decline? You aren't allowed to play an older game any more? Is a game released in 2023 considered old now? So much questions and only the howling of the wind between PS fanboy's ears as an answer.
This "argument" still? I remember having this discussion with friends in 2012 when ppl on PC were totally fine not jumping up to play Uncharted 300 or TLoU instantly. Even recently I've said I wouldn't mind if they just stopped making new games for a year or two so I can start to catch up lol. I didnt even buy the two games from 2024 I really wanted yet (Unicorn Overlord and Metaphor).
Supposedly 4% of my play time was spent playing games released in 2024, although I’m 99.99% sure it’s actually 0% Also 76% of my time was spent playing games from 1-7 years ago. Call me crazy but I’m pretty sure publishers aren’t going to complain a whole lot about me buying a game a few years after release
My play list at the moment is NMS, Satisfactory, Project Zomboid, and a couple of indy colony builders. I haven't bought a AAA "game" for years. I refuse to buy half a game then have the rest of it sold to me in small chunks, and I can't think of any modern game that isn't just a microtransaction delivery platform.
After watching this my plan was to spend some time with Simpsons hit and run (I was able to buy it used). But unfortunetlly I can't make it run on my windows 10
Of course it's IconEra, the PS fanboy echo chamber
AND
Of course they don't understand. Their version of playing old games is to buy the remaster
Exactly lmao

These same people told me im not a gamer because I dont get 100% of the achievements before moving on to the next game.
Apparently simply beating the game is not enough to be a gamer anymore to them anyways.
My Steam Year in Review says that in 2024, I played 22 different games. The median on Steam is 4. I spent a third of my time playing games that released in 2024. Tell me more about how PC gamers don't play games, console cavemen.
I played 165 games in 2024, and only 14% of my time was on games from 2024...
I played 50 games in 2024 and Steam says 4% of my time was on 2024 games. Pretty sure it was actually no time, though
I don't know if it was brought up as i was too busy sighing from the stupidity, but these console gamers might be thinking old games are bad because they can't actually play them anymore, and thus must be thinking we can't play ours either. Not many games ever get the ability to be cross platform like not being able to really even play ps2 or ps3 games anymore afaik. Pretty sure there is a subscription thing or something that lets you do so but the disk doesn't work. which is very lame.
I feel this as well. On PC we literally have GoG, a storefront dedicated to making old games work on new PCs.
There is not this same sense of game preservation on console. And a lot of the console execs push this idea that the only games worth it are the new "hotness".
I say we are more gamers than them simply because we never stopped appreciating the older games that will alway be good. Not to mention that a buch of games released in 2024 kinda sucked so I'm not surprised by the 15% statistic. Also many people on PC only play one single game competitively and that goes on for years, regardless of what new games come out.
Only on PC do we have a storefront MADE EXCLUSIVELY TO KEEP OLD GAMES RUNNING. And even GoG is CRIMINALLY underused for a company where you keep your games from the start.
@@Darkeus1 you are absolutely right. I love using GoG whenever the game I want is available there. Basically the only problem with GoG is that because of their DRM free policy they simply don't offer all games.
I don't care if games are old or not. I care if they are good or not.
They be so quick to flex steam numbers then also complain about em💀
I sometimes buy games at launch, thinking I'm going to play it immediately. But then I get the sudden urge to finally play, say, Trails from Zero recently, which I think I also bought at launch a year or more ago.
I TRY to only buy at full price if I'm seriously excited to get to it. It has steadily become less frequent over the last decade.
15% of 1.86 billion is 279 million. That's not a small number.
If they think that only playing the latest releases of games is what makes a real gamer, then they're only surface level casual gamers themselves, not willing to indulge in the very rich history of actual GAMING.
I enjoy playing the backlog of video games I have because they're fully patched and hardly any bugs or problems compared to day one releases
Ayeeeeee love the TF2 thumbnail. xD
To all the ponies claiming PC and Xbox gamers don't play new games, you just need to ask them one question.
If Concord only sold an estimated 15,000 copies on the playstation... Why ddn't you guys support the devs and buy/play Concord?
An estimated 25 billion hours played on steam. That is 3.750,000,000 hours playing games released in 2024.
Unrelated to the subject, but man, that TMNT game, I used to be in love with it ages ago when I was in like 4th or 5th grade. You have given me some nostalgia.
The people saying that playing these classical games and retro games makes you a fake gamers are in fact the true fake gamers. If you don't respect the classics and retro library, then you aren't a gamer, you're a tourist.
EDIT
Take me for example, I have the Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster on Xbox, Switch and Steam, and on Steam and thanks to mod support and discovering a randomizer on it, I've already clocked in nearly 500 hours on the game.
As someone who the last few days replayed South Park: The Stick Of Truth I can say that yes im not always playing the newest game that is out.
Obviously they'd think that. Most console users don't have access to most console games...so it is natural that they think games are timegated.
15k games came out this year, but we still have the 100k games to play from the years before to get through
We'll pencil 2024 games in for 2030
Just got a steam deck last year so kinda have a bunch of games from the 2010s to play.
I can't find time to play new games falcom got me in the ys and trails universe.
What a throwback with that tmnt game
I used to play it a lot on the original xbox!!!
... What happened with those Twitter users? They used to be quite creative with their stupid points, now they just doing the same
Oh and btw the only cnmplaint i ever had about PC gaming is a plus and thats - there is so much choice and too much lol , hmm what to play 1st , takes me 30 mins or more each day to decide as i got 500 +games just on steam yeh i know thats not a lot compared to lotta folks , kk peace out , thanx joe ^5.
Schrodinger's gamer were simultaneously broke and PC gaming is too expensive the console peasants decided which one is more convenient for there argument
Man, I got nostalgia from tmnt 03. I used to play that game when I was like 5 years old
If the platform didn't launch that year, the majority of games for that platform didn't launch that year, so it would be weird if the majority of time played was games from that year
I'm playing games on my pc everyday with Steam turned off I have enough spywares on my ass as it is
I can confirm that i'm a fake gamer because this week i spend 8 hours playing yu gi oh power of chaos
I have like 100 games in my backlog that i wanna play, i just never buy a game new, like no point in paying more money for something that will drop in price fast enough
Unlike consoles, our games on PC don't have a shelf life. When we upgrade our hardware our old games don't suddenly become incompatible because the new hardware manufacturer didn't decide to add backwards compatibility
2024 I spent more time playing games on Retrobat than Steam.
I currently have 113 Hours in Revolution Idle. And this game is 100% free on Steam
"THE OTHER DAY" Asmongold reacted to one of your videos
This is like consumerism at its most absolute worst
Why would anyone listen to someone who purchased a outdated plastic paywall box like the PS5?
Yup,that is why I played 500h Stalker Gamma mod,about 1000h 7DtD,modded Witcher 3 mod overhaul and new games??Not sure now but lets say Stalker 2 just 60h
They don't get we have mods,complete overhauls of the games that are basically new game,that is how much they are changed but hey...I played nothing
15% of the time on Steam (let's forget about all the other stores on PC) is spent in new releases.
Do they not understand how much time was spent gaming on Steam?
Let's spitball numbers here:
On average, there's 10 million gamers in a game on Steam at any given time. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but 10 million is a good number. This is concurent, so this is playing right now.
Daily that means there's 240 million hours played on Steam.
That would place the rough math estimate of 87.6 billion hours played last year.
That would mean 13.2 billion hours of Steam game time was spent on games released in 2024. That's equivalent to 1.5 million years.
But 15% sounds like a low number, :)
not a day passes without fanboys fighting over which plastic box is superior🙂
If anything it shows how massive the PC gaming crowd is if 15% of our playtime still beats or is equivalent to the numbers put up by console players. like how do they not get this?
THAT'S LIKE SAYING BOLLYWOOD IS BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD BECAUSE IT'S BIGGER. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@johnnylawrence7509 ??? Im confused how that statement in anyway is associated with what I said? Like i cant even unravel that? Are you saying people who watch bollywood movies cant be film buffs if they havent seen the Latest Hollywood movie? Or you cant be a fan of movies unless youve seen every Bollywood film? Like what are you saying? Im very confused. Yeah bollywood makes more movies than hollywood, but no one is accusing them of not making movies, console players are saying that because pc players only spent 15% of their time playing current releases that pc players dont play games. Or did you not watch the video?
@@evilbass159 What 3rd world country are you from FFS? 😂😂😂😂
@@johnnylawrence7509 Ah Okay. You have no idea what you said either. Glad we are both on the same page.
@@evilbass159 Are you embarrassed about what country you're from?
I mean what kind of foreigner can't understand what I meant. 😆😆😆
Only real gamers would know that gaming went to complete shit after the 8th generation of consoles came out.
I play loads of games, and so what if they're "old". Steam and GoG arekilling it in sales of games to PC gamers like me. Just this year I bought the Mafia Trilogy, the Pathfinder series, a copy of KCD for a friend, DOS 2, RDR2, and so many others. What did a console player buy? More months on a service and likely a new controller as their's got stick drift.
These jokers need to grow up. The PC market is crushing consoles because we do have so many choices to buy and play for far longer than when the next console generation comes out.
I actually go back and forth between PC and console gaming... and I also keep my older consoles around, as some older games used to not play well on PC, and thus Id turn to the console release. And tbh, I have MORE fun playing my PS2 and 3 games than I do my PS5 games.
The lack of reading comprehension is incredible on those threads and similar.
I'm still playing loads of Helldivers 2 & Stalker 2, I guess I'm not a real gamer
“Are you made of bananas?”
Why yes, I am.
These days there is zero reason nor logic to buy games day 1, and yet console fanboys seem to think that hype alone or "cus it's new" are logical reasons to wade through bug riddled, expensive messes.
I'd rather go through my backlog until the newer games are patched up and have gone down in price, because going about it that way gives me minimal risk and also lets me take a second look at the game months to a year later to even see if it's worth the purchase or not.
This whole notion of "dive in, don't ask questions, spend big" makes some of the fanboys sound like literal casino gamblers high on copium.
Pretty much what a collective IQ of 70 looks like.
15% of the time PLAYING GAMES were spent in the new releases, and now Steam users aren't playing games? PC platform is in decline? You aren't allowed to play an older game any more? Is a game released in 2023 considered old now? So much questions and only the howling of the wind between PS fanboy's ears as an answer.
We didn't play a game because it's new but because it's good
i still remember when these peasant laugh about how replayable are most game on pc.
This "argument" still? I remember having this discussion with friends in 2012 when ppl on PC were totally fine not jumping up to play Uncharted 300 or TLoU instantly.
Even recently I've said I wouldn't mind if they just stopped making new games for a year or two so I can start to catch up lol. I didnt even buy the two games from 2024 I really wanted yet (Unicorn Overlord and Metaphor).
Supposedly 4% of my play time was spent playing games released in 2024, although I’m 99.99% sure it’s actually 0%
Also 76% of my time was spent playing games from 1-7 years ago. Call me crazy but I’m pretty sure publishers aren’t going to complain a whole lot about me buying a game a few years after release
My play list at the moment is NMS, Satisfactory, Project Zomboid, and a couple of indy colony builders. I haven't bought a AAA "game" for years. I refuse to buy half a game then have the rest of it sold to me in small chunks, and I can't think of any modern game that isn't just a microtransaction delivery platform.
After watching this my plan was to spend some time with Simpsons hit and run (I was able to buy it used). But unfortunetlly I can't make it run on my windows 10
Welcome to pc gaming where everything is broken garbage. 😂😂😂😂
@johnnylawrence7509 Your answers is "very helpful"
I think it really says something about the new games when most people on pc play older games instead of the new ones.
The other dayyyyyyyy!
Ponies spend more time on twitter than actually playing games
I play a lot of new games when I pirate them
