    I once read someone complain about housing space and how it can't go any higher due to console players and the limit we have. That got me thinking....how much does ZOS have to limit due to consoles? If my peasant status is holding the PC master race back from their true potential then that exhilarates me.

      I actually play on both PC and Xbox, but I main Xbox. Console just "clicks" better for me.

      Even when I do play on PC, I use the controller UI. Just way more intuitive and easy.

      A. you don’t know that, because you didn’t ask.
      B. you don’t think it might have been interesting if it turned out that there were more Mac players than PS4 players?

      There is no way there are more Mac users then PS4. impossible, Mac is so obscure for gaming related purposes it did not warrant a place in the poll

      I repeat, you don't know how many Mac players there are, because you didn't ask.

      The only thing that's impossible here seems to be that you create a representative poll.

      'I want to know how many people play the game on which platform, but I'm not going to ask about one of the four platforms because I don't care about it. And then, when someone points out the omission, I'm going to get all defensive and elitist about it.'

      Yep, well done.

      Perhaps, just perhaps, this kind of attitude is why Mods shut down polls like this, as you thought they might do?

      I used to have a gaming pc but it gave me so many problems. My PS4 in comparison is so nice and easy. Being able to just switch it on and not deal with any *** is amazing.

      PS4 NA & EU. I'd love to play PC but I'm not properly equipped for gaming on my home setup. I still contemplate on downloading on my work laptop, LOL.

      I wonder what life would be like if I had an addon to make things a bit easier...hrrmmm? :D I recently saw a addon for vet trials in this case it was vAS+2 ...looked like a nice set of training wheels if you ask me. #consolepeasantSUCKS

      No I have a Razer Black Widow keyboard on my PS4 and it has a web browser.
      But I also have 6 other computers up next to my PS4 so I can multitask.

      This seems true, though ultimately it's hard to say. Just speaking personally, I've been primarily a console gamer for at least a decade now and I never bothered with any forums for games I played until this one. I didn't see the point. Some days I don't see the point of this one either... haha.

      I would never play a game like this that requires frequent updating on my PS. PC all the way. I would never buy it from Steam either.

      Come on, now... as a Mac user you should be used to being an invisible demographic. ;)

      The real shocker would be if we had been included at all. Or if even a handful of people on these forums are aware that you can boot any modern Mac into Windows OS anyway... lol.

      Ha, I play on my Macbook when on holiday and... wait for it... on an iMac with Windows 10 installed ;)

      The problem wasn't being invisible (not really...), but follow up attitude of 'I don't care' rather than 'Oh yeah, oops'.

      Last time I checked MACs are PCs. FFS
      PC = Personal Computer, not a brand.

      To which I'd say, the only time that anyone remembers that Macs are PCs is when someone points out that they're forgotten to mention Macs. To almost everyone in the world, in everyday usage, 'PC' is synonymous with 'Windows'.

      Also, the OP was talking about platforms. And Mac is a different platform from Windows. If PC is one platform, feel free to download the Mac installer and get the game running on Windows 10 ;)

      Then you are a new comer to the world of computers.
      Original PCs didn't run Windows either which is an operating system not a platform.
      Macs run very similar architecture and also run Windows 10, which I wouldn't brag about btw.
      But I forgot MAC users used to think they were superior to PC users in the old days as well.
      Times have changed homogenization due to needing to sell Apple products to the business world occurred.

      Speak it brother! I understand the alure of PC gaming as you have 100% control of your system and when you can upgrade it, but at this point in life (32 years old) i just want to turn the system on and run the game, not turn the system on, run the game, get an error code, google the error, attempt to fix the error, then change the game's resolution from 1080p (monitor) to 4K (tv) and get scaling issues with all my programs and then finally get the game working only to have performance issues/cheaters (if the game is online)

      PlayStation is where i will stay for the rest of my gaming needs, and if it gets to the point where PC is the only platform...well, i will assume there is still Nintendo :D

      Forums are only used by old farts nowadays and most console players are kids.

      Everyone I play with on XBox is an adult well into their adulthood, and most guilds have a "18 and up only" rule to keep out the occasional obnoxious kid who manages to bypass the Mature game rating, so no.

      The Mac *is* a PC (PC stands for Personal Computer).

      The poll doesn't say "Windows" so why should it have an option for "Macintosh"?
