However, I have NEVER seem any console community be nearly as unwelcoming to PC gamers as most PC game communities are to console gamers.
That's because the "console community" is composed of frat-boys, morons, and is pretty much the 'catch-all' of any retard who's never played a video game before in their life. A condescending console community is pretty much the lowest you can get.
Besides, what are the console gamers going to complain about? How 'smart' PC games are compared to console games? Give me a break. Consoles are the single factor driving down creativity, imagination, encouraging dumbing-down and pushing graphics and action over anything else.
I have honestly never seen any 'console fanboys' claim that consoles are actually superior to a good PC (anyone who does is obviously an idiot)
You need to get out more. They whine about everything from "OMG U HAEV 2 UPGRAED UR GRAFIX EVRY 2 MUNTHZ" to "WTF U HAEV 2 ISNTEAL GAEMZ LOL GAYZ".
Should I be looked down on because I dont have the time, expeariance and spare cash to buld myself a gaming rig?
Yes.
It's like owning a Honda Civic with a big spoiler on the back and calling yourself a racer. It's an insult to anyone who's ever custom-tuned an engine themselves and put meticulous time into rebuilding and upgrading it all. Secondly, because console gamers both have preconceived ideas about PC gaming that are almost all totally wrong, and they stick with their ez-mode gaming-for-idiots training-wheels, they never learn anything new.
PC gamers go on to be game developers.
Console gamers become the manager of a Burger King.
I work with a SHIT ton of people from all over. I can go into a room and point out who plays an Xbox based on how crude and undereducated they are. The smartest people who also game that I work with are all PC gamers. Then we have some of the biggest knuckle-dragging idiots who ask "DuRrrr do u gaem rofl?" "Yeah...?" "lolol omg cal uf duty 4 iz leik ossum omg" *facepalm*.
