The new 'PC' icons are a bit disturbing

I also think they're useless since everyone here is PC.

Typing on consoles is an enormous pain, so why would console players use the forum?

There are thousands of threads about the console versions of the game on the forum. Sure, the majority of people posting are on PC, but that's some serious hyperbole.


I edited my post, but another point: if you use the PC to go on the forums why not just play on the PC? Playing this game on a console sounds very clunky.

I guess exceptions could be made if you use the forum on a phone or a laptop that can't handle the game so they have to play on console, but back to my first point, I think those players are so few and far between the new icon still feels useless.

People that can't run on DX11 have no other choice tbh. Besides, just because one has a certain piece of tech does not mean that they can't prefer another.

Still the question remain... does the icon even matter? Does it need to be so prominent?

Those new icons looks disturbing.

I dare to say majority of players are using PC over consoles. It is better to only display "console" icons for non-PC players (and no icon for PC players).

edit:
I can't use the forum because of this icons.
retired from forum because of censorship and discrimination
(also poe2 bad)

...it was quotes. from the forum. lolz!
So, why exactly I must to see this shitty icon?
E = mc^(OMG)/wtf
Um why is this such an important piece of information that it needs to be an icon next to our username with equivalent weight to our challenges? Just put it in the profile if we truly must know what device our peers are playing on.

I guess they’re anticipating huge differences in thread topics/opinions between console players and PC players? Seems like an excellent way to foster resentment between different groups of players (although the same can be said for how the 3-month map series schedule has been implemented).
We're all in this leaky boat together, people.

Problem: impostor syndrome
Solution: nerf everything
Result: depressing mess

It's an inevitability. Any time spent in Warframe's forum will tell you as much.

That assumes every console gamer has a gaming PC. I'm pretty sure if people had a gaming PC, they wouldn't be using a console that wasn't owned by Nintendo. :P
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!
