Everyone who plays on any platform, whether mobile or console, has their own unique gaming habits. People adhere to these game habits that they have created within themselves and do not want to leave it easily. These gaming habits begin to form on certain platforms that we inevitably prefer.
Although most of the players think that the platform they play the game is not important, most of them find it right to continue on certain platforms even if they pay more. Let’s take a look at the reasons why some players stick to one platform.
Players, who have been using a single platform for years, do not look forward to leaving behind their huge library of hundreds of games they have accumulated during this time.
Let’s start with a little empathy. You are a PlayStation user for about seven years, during this period you have purchased hundreds of games and finished dozens of them. The interface you’re used to, your huge list of friends and all of your famous game statistics that each of us enjoys looking at are all on this platform. Would you consider leaving all that behind and moving to a completely new platform from scratch?
If your answer is yes, you probably don’t care about the platform you play on or that platform you have been using for a long time can no longer offer you what you are looking for. But if your answer is no, you now know why many players prefer a single gaming platform.
Players who are chasing achievements or who like to follow game statistics within the platform they are using usually stick to a single platform.
Although some players do not care about the achievements and statistics obtained while playing games with stories, we can say that players who prefer single-player games do care a lot. So much so that these achievements from the games, together with small touches, can significantly increase the immersion of the game and the motivation of the player to continue.
When this is the case, leaving a platform where we have thousands of achievements and even tens of games where we have completed all the achievements may sound as if we are leaving all our efforts. Therefore, players who like to achieve achievements in games and follow statistics are closer to choosing a single platform.
A user who loves the game platform he prefers and gets used to this platform in every sense over time, may not favor another game platform.
Let’s imagine a gamer who has used Xbox since childhood. A user who enjoyed Halo and Gears of War with millions of people during the Xbox 360 era, did not leave the platform during the Xbox One era, which was the weakest period of Xbox, and witnessed the positive change in the gaming industry with the release of the Xbox Game Pass system. During this time, he finished a lot of games, made friends and connected to the platform in every sense.
We can think of this example that we just gave from the perspective of the user of any platform. What we are trying to say briefly is that you may have grown with the platform you are using. Accepting everything of that platform as it is and constantly witnessing its development. When we combine all these reasons, we can easily understand why some people prefer a single game platform over others. So, are you one of those who prefer a single game platform, or are you one of those who do not care about such details?
