I get that you're angry at the state of PC gaming, but you'll have to live with it. Times change, technology moves on. The console gaming market isn't hugely successful simply because it appeals to those who don't know better, whilst a smaller group of "intelligent" gamers go for a PC. To assume so displays such arrogance. I know this justifies your own sense of self worth, but it doesn't make it true.
I was going to say that I dont understand all this defence of the platorm with a terminal intensity, but I guess I do. Your chosen platform is under fire in this day and age, and you dont want to see it die. The only thing I can say really is that it's just something you're going to have to live with. But just because you choose not to like consoles, doesnt mean they're any less valid.
Regarding mods; not everyone likes them. I personally don't. I get that a lot of people do, and I dont resent anyone for it. I dont want to get into a massive debate here on the pros and cons of each platform. It's been done to death across many a web forum and subject. The bottom line though is that people will choose what they want according to their own preferences.
Personally, I use my PC for online gaming and my 360 for any "serious" gaming I want to do. By that I mean games that I intend spending a large amount of time on.
I can't wait for Skyrim, and much to the chagrin of many of you I will be buying it for the 360. Having read this though, please don't assume I'm doing so from making some sort of error of judgement, or not really understanding the "benefits" the PC version has to offer. I make the decision knowing full well the capabilities of both platforms, as do so many others.
