@Siphonay It's a bit more complicated than "class contempt". First of all a cheap gaming PC can be made for the price of a console. Second, the problem isn't people using consoles... Who cares? The issue is when games have a reduced level of quality because of a need to cater to the console audience.
Many PC gamers are still pretty pissed about things like the awful Skyrim interface, as they should.
Most devs/editors now think "consolers first". The "PC Master race" joke is merely a reaction
