Lately I've noticed how toxic the discussions surrounding Switch have turned. This became especially apparent to me on the threads for Dark Souls and Wolfenstein II, where a bunch of members came to the threads just to shit on the port, saying how they couldn't understand why anyone would play an "inferior" game when a better version is available in other platforms. To me, all those posts sound like the PC players who sometimes come into console threads and give shit to those versions for not running at 100 FPS in extreme settings, which was as much as a stupid comparison to make in that context as it is in this context.
We have to understand that PC's will always have a performance edge vs home consoles, and home consoles will always have an edge versus portable consoles, which is what the Switch ultimately is; but that doesn't mean people who played Crysis on PS3 were mediocre or easy to please, or that people playing DS on Switch are somehow stupid for not getting the PS4 Pro version.
Personally, I have almost every console since the N64, yet I decided to play Doom 2016 on Switch because the console offers a versatility that suits my lifestyle better than the rest of my consoles. Was it an "inferior" version? I don't feel so. Am I stupid for buying it on Switch instead of PS4? Nope. While it may not run at 60 fps or at 1080p, it offered me the chance to try to complete a mission a couple times, put my console to sleep with the tap of a button, and come back to it after a bit within 30 seconds, regardless of where I was (living room, bedroom, university, train, etc)
Every platform has its pros and cons, and it's childish to judge someone based on the platform they pick to buy a multiplayer game, ffs. I seriously don't get why the moderation team hasn't been acting against these new trolls.
Anyway, have a good weekend lads.
