NME: “Which do you prefer, Xbox or PlayStation?” Henry Cavill: “PC.”

You can actually. God of War is on PSNow and Horizon is coming next year for example. And if Sony don't want to trail behind MS and Google when it comes to streaming next gen, you can bet PS5 games will be streamable to any device as well.
Warner Bros should just let Henry Cavill be Henry Cavill while wearing the Superman suit. It's amazing how polar opposite the dude is in real life from the stoic characters they keep trying to cast him as in films.
Someone send him the PC master race shop on Instagram.

Not really.
Edit: I know you're being sarcastic. But do you honestly think people got into PC games just because they were rich? MOBA games is one of the most popular genre in PC scene and it doesn't require expensive rig.

Or how about "it's all a preference". No platform is better than any other, inherently/objectively. It's up to what each person prefers.
To me, both sides of this inane argument are genuinely eye-roll worthy. The ones naming themselves the "master race", even if jokingly, a little more though.
It is clearly genuine, dude doesn't need favours of the internet. His life is already set to "won" status.
Anyone and everything could certainly benefit from the favours of the internet, especially when you are promoting your new TV adaption of a beloved franchise.
Ok, let me re-phrase: He does not need to gather the favours of gamer nerds who really care about this kind of bullshit.
I just bought a raspberry pi last weekend so I could use it as a steamlink to play games on my tv in the living room. Took about 10 minutes to get everything up an running once the OS was installed.
PC is great because multiplatform and Xbox games are on there at the "best"* quality, but I just prefer console gaming, especially Switch because it provides portable "console quality" gaming on the go.
It doesn't really matter if he needs it. It certainly benefits him. Seeing as even the most cynical people in this thread have a positive reaction to him.
And yet, before he gave his honest opinion his life was still going amazingly. He didn't need to garner the love of platform war veterans. That is the point, your "seems" just didn't fit.
rejoice, console gamers of era. with this, Cavill's (truthful) statement has been canceled out and the platforms are on par again.
He doesn't give a fuck, and rightly so. Such pointless shit to argue over. I can't believe this thread is at 14 pages
Well, the seems was just there because I could've also been wrong.
Also, are you Cavill by chance lol
If anything this thread proves console gamers are actually the weirdest fucking weirdos
I mean jesus christ people, these posts
I mean jesus christ people, these posts
It's knowns he's a total PC nerd anyway.
Unless Cavil built his career on the backs of platform war heroes by lying about wow, of course.
Pretty sure a lot of them are trolls.... but then I tend to have far too much faith in people.
He may not give a fuck but Netflix's promotion team could. Making actors, companies etc more relatable is working seeing as we got to 14 pages of positive praise and memes about what he said.
Haha, Netflix isn't going out there to get actors to lie about their PC gaming.
14 pages of praise in a tiny corner of the internet is not what they're striving for.
I remember him saying he prefers staying at home playing games than going out somewhere. Whenever he wishes to retire he can certainly become a popular streamer, lol. Not like he'd need money or popularity from it at that point though.
Plot twist: he is terrible at all the games he plays and screams at his mom when she interrupts him.
It would be foolish to believe that this is not all over twitter, youtube and reddit.
Netflix don't give a fuck either, jesus christ.
This interview is from 2016.
Yes, and it's only really cared about for 14 pages worth of meme level reactions in tiny corners of those sites.
Except it's not, it's just Cavil nerding out about his hobby.
Sometimes actors are just normal people underneath their super powered shells.
Why do you get so worked up over it? I didn't even say that I don't believe it.
The idea that an actor of Cavil's success would try to score points with platform war heroes is the funny thing, that's all.
GOG Galaxy 2.0 solves this problem and has a beautiful UI, try it.
What makes this even more funny is that this whole pc master race thing was coined in a video review of the first witcher game.
You clearly know nothing about Henry Cavill than. He is very much a gamer
Lotta shameful gatekeeping in here. It is known that gaming is his hobby and that he's a pretty decent dude. His "nerdom" isn't invalidated because he's an actor and good looking. The reason why it is frequently mentioned in interviews is because of how his involvement in the project came to be.
Nobody here owns the hobby or can invalidate another person's enjoyment of it because of some nonsense criteria. This thread is a fucking awful look for era.

Im not worked up, if thats the impression I am giving off its not intended. It's just a silly idea to even entertain. The whole reason he wanted to be in this show is because he loves the games/books. He isn't lying about anything.
If it brings you the favours of internet people yes of course. It would only benefit your career. He is only human like you said.
This is fast approaching thread of decade status. :)
I wouldn't count PSNow as playing on PC tho 720p(sub)30 is horrible.

The point that you're missing is that there are far, far more lucrative ways to do this. There is also a chance this actually alienates him from other audiences as it could be seen as nerdy and uncool. Also, the platform war aspect would mean he would be alienating those console people who care about platform wars. it just wouldn't make sense.
No actor of Cavil's standing is going to lie about paying PC games as often as he does to score points with platform war heroes, or even get entrenched in that shit on their social media.
I know. I think it's dope that he is so open about that stuff and kinda defies that stereotype. I said "seems" because I was open to being wrong.
It's like those twitter accounts. Parasocial relationships with people in media and companies are big right now. Of course they will capitalize on it. And as you can see with how the internet reacted to this and other interviews it works. In Cavill's case he is just being himself tho.
