Your last post on cheating ignores the fact that those counter measures are easily gotten around, thats why I personally try competitive games on private servers and with people I know whenever possible on a PC, it cuts down on the BS youll encounter
This is the truth I use to be a PC gamer as well the hackers cheaters exploiters aimbots god mode having players just run rampant. Not only is cheating a problem but malware spyware and other virus run a everywhere on PC. Every time I turn my PC on some troll ad says I need to do a virus scan. Pc's are high maintenance I can buy a ps3/ps4 plug in 2 cables turn my tv on and I'm gaming. I left PC gaming alone when I started to realize Free 2 Play and Micro transactions were the only viable games the games you pay for were on consoles with less hackers and hassle.
Quit looking at ****/pirating stuff off pirate bay, and you wont have to worry about viruses.
Cheating wont be an issue in Legion, noone is gonna risk cheating on a character cause they will lose everything.
With consoles, you end up paying more. 400$ system that youre locked into, pay 50$ a year to access something you already pay your ISP for, and then each game is 60$ a pop, most of which goes to support gamegestapo. It is true, consoles do get some exclusives, but none of them are worth playing in toned down graphics that look awful, and still only at 30fps.

My friend brought a brand new PC a dell 1 week later she was completely locked out of her computer and a guy had called her cellphone and told her to pay up 500 dollars and he would give her control of her pc back. She threw her computer in the trash. Its not **** its not pirate bay its just PCs are vulnerable. FB can get you screwed Yahoo too pretty much anything that holds your sensitive information is up for grabs.
Back to gaming though while $60 is pricey and I would have more games if games were cheaper I've become very comfortable with buying a few games a year. For instance if i still had my rig id be playing Battlefield and some F2P mmorpgs and that's it. The games that I like are not on PC I'd still want my console it got to a point were my PC was just taking up space so I sold it to some old guy in jersey so he could use it to play EVE ONLINE true story.
Side note find me a decent Anti virus because Comcast gave me Nortan thats crap Windows Defender is garbage and AVG doesn't do squat. I just trashed my Laptop because I got sick of it reformatted my HD and put it in my ps3.
Anything with internet is vulnerable. The PSN was hacked you know. People's info are vulnerable on that too. And I'm pretty sure your friend acted prematurely. With anything, people charge you high for the labor. And especially for a girl and a PC. I would have shopped around you instead of dramatically throwing my week old PC away. That's just stupid.
All she had to do was have a backup. Did she have one? I'm building a PC and when I get everything installed, I'm immediately doing a back up. Problems with my PC? Reverting back to backup. Virus? Reverting back to backup.
PC requires a bit more care, that's why consoles are so popular. But it isn't like its not doable. You just need to be smart about what you download, where you download from, having the proper anti viral systems in place (F McAfee though), and have a back up ready for any problems.
Too often people just get a PC and do whatever with it, then become shocked when its bogged down with viruses and it's acting funny. You have to take care of your PC.
