True...but then I would have wasted bunch of money on an off-brand tablet that is only fit for filthy peasants.
Also, I am perfectly happy with the selection of games in the App Store. There are more great games there than I will ever have the time to play.
just giving you a hard time... sort of. But in all seriousness one reason I really prefer a Windows tablet is that all my devices are using the same platform. So any game I buy now can be played at my main gaming PC, or on my laptop, or on my tablet, or on my arcade stand PC. I like that better than deciding if I want to buy the PC version or the Android/whatever version of each game.

So after a 45+ GB download/update for Black Ops 3 which only took 5+ hours and which I just left my PS4 on to finish last night. I finally started up the game today only to be greeted by a message that not all content was available so I thought oh MP must still be updating/installing. Hell no everything still had to install which you think would be pretty fast considering the game downloaded and "installed" last night, but no. No it's taken another hour of sitting on the title screen watching it install zombies, then multiplayer, and finally campaign(because who the hell plays campaign ). With the only freaking feature actually usable being the lovely micro transaction store .
The AAA Devs of this generation can really go screw themselves. If this shit continues to get worse I will be happy as hell to see the next gaming market crash .

"The next gaming market crash" is a very interesting scenario to think about. Now, just because of how much more connected via the internet is these days, I don't think another early '80's-style crash is possible: One where the market is just so toxic that no US company even wants to touch it. I could see an eventual downfall of consoles to PC's (or what are basically plug-and-play, easy to use PC's you just hook up to the television), or even a downfall of several (but mostly likely not all) traditional AAA publishers, but I think some service like Steam will always exist as long as the internet does. Somewhere, SOMEBODY is gonna wanna make a game and try and sell/distribute it to people digitally for a desktop, even if all people are actually playing are just free-to-play games on their phones.

Well I could see the physical market crashing pretty hard. Imagine what a blow it is going to be to stores like gamestop when their warehouses full of used PS4/XB1 games suddenly become worthless one day. If you thought the Atari Landfill was great imagine whats going to happen in a decade or two when all of a sudden hundreds of millions of games become worthless overnight as their platforms are abandoned.
