You know what makes console gaming so awesome? For the most part, everyone has the same specs. Conversely, in PC gaming, gamers can pay for better hardware — a faster graphics card, more RAM, more accurate mouse, keyboard, etc — these can enable higher scores and increased wins online. In other words, even though winning takes skill, the gamer with the bigger bank account can get an advantage — arguably, an unfair one.
