i know people like to talk about how PC gaming is free online, but honestly XBL and even PSN are better services.

on PC your games are split across different platforms (origin / steam / bnet / LoL / etc) so your friend list gets fragmented, and then when you do play with people it's not always so easy to invite people.

then you have my biggest complaint which is that there isnt really a good chat program that's consistent on PC. back when i played WoW every raid group & guild used some kind of different chat program, so there was teamspeak, mumble, vent, skype, etc. now i think people use Discord but my serious PC gaming days are over so I havent tried it.

now you finally get to the actual programs themselves and they're hit or miss. I hate Steam (not intuitive and feels like it is from 15 years ago), Bnet is good but I have to reinstall the launcher after updates sometimes, etc.

the tl;dr is that i think (to an extent) you get what you pay for. I hop on Xbox or Playstation, my friends are there, my games are there, it's easy to navigate stuff, I can play & communicate easily, and that's it.

it's not rocket science to get a PC game going but convenience on consoles is nice
