The new 'PC' icons are a bit disturbing

It's the color that's odd. Then maybe position that icon to the right side of a username and it's ok I think.

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.


Maybe it is better to create a (nice) "console" icon from them instead of create a nice pc icon for the rest...?

They're also getting icons. I'm not sure why you'd assume otherwise.

Who the fuck "designed" those? They look like shitty sprites from the 8bit era.

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).
It's going to be the same reason as they give for SSF and trade leagues sharing a chat: they want people to fight. They want flame wars and arguments. I am not making this up.
