I'm going to ignore replies with offensive content, since they don't add anything to the discussion, as for those calling for my ban, unfortunately, for you, making a thread about how PC's full potential is wasted by the developers is not against GS or SW rules, it's not my problem if this simple truth hurts you.
Without further ado:

fps is irrelevant for most people.
People simply have not experienced 60+ and will not due to various reasons, would not suggest irrelevancy.
Yes, they have and I have. Higher fps is cool and all, but not really necessary and most people clearly don't care about that, if they did, Switch wouldn't be selling like hot cakes, DS, 3DS would have all but failed. People care, first and foremost about the fun factor of games.

PC is being held back by AAA publishers plain and simple the glory days AAA exclusives are non existent it shouldn't be this way it sucks. I feel bad for newer PC gamers that didn't experience PC gaming from 98-07 to me that was the golden era of PC gaming. It's still great but it's not what it should and can be right now.
PC wouldn't have access to AAA if it weren't for consoles shifting their archtecture to x86. Consoles make more money for any one developer, since most AAA sell more copies on consoles than on PC. You should be grateful for the existence of console gaming, is the sole reason you have good multiplatform games available to play on the PC.

I played Zelda botw and Mario kart 8 and donkey Kong CTF on PC
and I can play more games on PC than on PS4 , we have microsoft game's third party games PC exclusives like Squadron 42 etc , some Sony games like Detroit , now after all the acquisitions microsoft has done we will have more games that are not available on PS4.
I don't discuss emulation, what counts it's what is available officially on the PC and those games you cited are not.

Honestly the only quality games I have to look forward to on PC are those top down isometric RPGs.
That's honestly Top-down RPGs are PC's only "AAA" caliber game selection you'll find on steams store, everything else worth looking of is a console port of some kind. Virtually everything other than that is busted, janky and extremely low quality.
PC's exclusive content is pretty much a shovelware grave yard.
It's not hating it's just a fact. PC fans wait on our console ports so they can have something of quality to get excited about.
I just went searching through the steam store today...shit depressing. You can't find anything but unfinished early access cash grab projects and basement developed indies for all the praise PC fans here give the platform.
Pretty much agreed. But they seem to fail this simply concept. If PC was all that those people needed, they wouldn't buy PS4/Xbox/Switch, but most PC gamers have at least a PS4 and a Switch whereas most PS4/Switch owners don't have a gaming PC.

sure, if you discount entire genres like strategy games, milsims (Hell Let Loose is what BFV wishes it could be and its only in Early Access) and other random but awesome Multiplayer games like Mordhau and Tannenberg, then yea, PC is only really good for the massive advantages in control flexibility and hardware configuration, as well as performance (which is critically important for enjoyment IMO)
its a shame I find so called "AAA" games so damn stale most of the time. Been playing through Detroit Become Human while its free on PS+ and my god if this is what AAAE gaming looks like, there isn't much there to brag about. sure it looks nice but it runs like dogshit, controls like dogshit and the story and premise is amateur hour.
there hasn't been a single worthwhile PS4 or Xbox exclusive so far this year as far as i'm concerned, yet PC has Anno 1800 and Total War Three Kingdoms off the top of my head which are both excellent and i'm pretty sure qualify as AAA to boot.
I'm talking about AAA games that use the full power of the PC hardware, which is not the case for most of the games you cited, neither is for the majority of PC exclusives. Most of them can run on a laptop onboard chipset.

Your logic is flawless...
You do realise if you can't afford a PC chances are you can only afford one console and then you also would be missing out on games, how many people here actually have a Switch that own a X1 or PS4?... Not many and vice versa.
The chances of someone with a high end gaming PC having a console or every console is highly likely because they can clearly afford it.
Money solves everything I get every multi-play and PC exclusive on PC at the best possible settings and framerate available for the time on my PC and I own a Switch and Pro.
The problem is the other way around... I feel sorry for console gamers who have to pick one console.
Being able to afford or not has nothing to do with the discussion. I truly feel sorry about all that wasted potential on a PC with high end hardware, the games aren't using all that power and probably never will.
