What are you a console gamer? If it wasn't for PC gamers you're dumbass console systems would never have come about.
Wrong.
The first major gaming platform to hit the open market was Magnavox's Odyssey, a console, in 1972, whereas one of the first computer game sold to the public was Microchess, sold in 1977. It was only because of the gaming crash of 1983 when there was a flood of companies trying to make it in the gaming market did PC games become increasingly popular.

Without the explosion of the PC industry and community after the crash there would not be the console community that there is today.
