[Mortem]

[Indiana Georg]

The Glorious PC Master Race meme started because Yahtzee thought PC gamers acted like Nazi's. We liked the term and adopted it

You people clearly never went to the subreddit nor its wiki if you seriously think they're elitists or console haters just because of their name or because some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ told you about it over at YouTube Comments.

And OP, that's not the only PC-related subreddit there is.
r/pcgaming
/r/buildapc

I don't care. WIth a subreddit with THAT for a name, I don't even feel like viewing the page.

Same thing if some dumbasses open a ConsoleMasterRace subreddit.

They're supposed to be PC hardware enthusiasts albeit with satirical/circlejerk elements.

When did I say I thought the PCMR Reddit was elitist or that PC gamers are elitist in general. OP asked where the PCMR name came from and I told him.

Before "the rise of the PC Master Race", there wasn't any unified group present to fight console industry slander, FUD, hostageware, and marketing lies. This has changed. PC gaming is no longer a force to be messed with, and there's an army of many millions of people people who have united for the very purpose of making sure PC gaming is properly represented and no longer mistreated. A place where anyone is welcome to share their love for and learn more about being part of PC, about being part of PCMR.

As users of a free, open, and decentralized platform, it's our responsibility as PC enthusiasts to take the place of the support, management, port testing, and other essential duties that a console manufacturer would otherwise handle for its users and its developers. This page is the product of more than a decade of hard work from individuals who believe in the PC, who have done all of this for no other reason than to ensure the console industry's damage is limited, and that the truth still has the ability to directly reach you regardless of how much they attempt to bury the truth in marketing lies and negative associations. Because of the vast amount of people who have contributed to it, as well as the time during which such contributions occurred, some information may be slightly outdated on what concerns specific details, but never in spirit. This is an ongoing project, and just by being a member of the community, you too can be part of it!

Forget everything you thought you knew about PC gaming. This article has two goals: to teach readers how to get into PC gaming and take advantage of all its current offerings, and to dispel the myths about PC gaming that the console industry has been spinning up in an attempt to remain on top despite declining relevance. PC gaming has never been this inexpensive, easy to get into, free of restriction, or more widespread than it is today. Largely to thank for this massive PC growth, consoles have never been as ethically and technologically comparatively worse than they are today - and more and more people are either switching to PC or looking to it in a way that they never had before. As more than a machine that you can use to do your homework or watch a movie, but as a machine that can do that + everything a console can + a lot more

PC is the superior choice (cheaper, faster, better, more versatile, and more compatible) compared to underpowered and industry-harming "limited PC" consoles.
