I have noticed myself being on the PC side of the house more and more as of late. The XB1 sits in a corner collecting some dust. However I did realize my drop from PC gaming resulted in 2 different aspects…1) Activity. I do alot of co-op/multi-play gaming…groups that i gamed with before GRG would fall out after a few months; 2) Hardware requirements. Sometimes its hard to justify the upgrade cost just to play a few new games. Any how hardware limitations are the end all to PC gaming.
But to answer my own question…For the past month I definitely have spent more time on PC the Xbox. Back and forth through steam games, humble bundles, and Black Desert Online.
I vary, I tend to play a greater variety on PC, typically free titles or trials.
Whereas my PS4 is mostly just seeing Rocket League and Netflix these days.

PC right now and it is because of the games. I have had more fun in buggy Early Access survival games than I do playing the current stale shooters on the consoles.
If I listed all the reasons I play more on the PC side it would be a long one. I agree hardware can be expensive but if you are smart about how you purchase your games you can make up some of that expense compared to a console. New releases always go on sale quicker on PC.
I am hoping to see more survival shooters on the consoles in the future. I plan to get State of Decay 2 on console. PUBG in 2018 probably. Xbox won’t have a chance when Breaking Point comes out I may put more hours in it than I have ARK in total.

Well, i have certainly been on the pc almost exclusively for a while now. Its been all Ark with a couple PUBG games mixed in. It has been mostly because ark is a game I can walk away from quickly, had a new baby in the house. Of course, right as I was gonna be getting back in on some BF1 action, my wife spilled some water on the xbox. Going PC for now while i watch for a better deal on a new xbox.
A big factor is of course the games, not much I have wanted to play on console except BF1. We will see what the fall games are gonna be like. I’ve always liked Far Cry and I plan to get State of Decay 2.

It depends on what’s out for games. Right now and for the past 2+ months I have been 90% on PC. There has not been much on the Xbox side to get me to play; at little BF1 here and there pretty much. Other than that it’s been all about PUBG!!! Not that I don’t have games on Xbox one that could and sometimes think about playing. I have Wildlands which I feel I barely played. Forza which I just got in March, Friday the 13th - haven’t played much of that since launch because of he early server issues and I just haven’t gone back to try it again. Overwatch is another game I really enjoyed and always tell myself I need to try again.
I use the gaming rig laptop I bought last year 95% of the time now. I haven’t found a viable solution to gaming with my Xbox when I am in my apartment on campus here and there, but there really haven’t been any games out there that make me wish I was on my Xbox instead. The only thing I really miss with it is gaming with the community.
That’s an odd statement since we have quite a few PC Gamers now.
Yes but on community night they all tend to be on Xbox.
I don’t know about that. Besides, maybe a Staff Member could set up a PC GRG Community Night Event.
