Thinking about going PC only - help me weigh the pros and cons

[GAME]

Pros:

-Games are cheap or free

-Online services are free

-Many AAA console exclusives are starting to make their way to PC (e.g. Destiny)

-PC exclusives I love that can't be played anywhere else (e.g. Civ)

-Since I have a gaming laptop, it's 100% portable

-Once I really started getting into gaming ('95-'96), PC was my original platform of choice

-I have over a decade of street cred with Steam, 5+ years with Origin, and over 700 games just between those 2 platforms. Add in Battle.net and UPlay and I have close to 800 games

-Backward compatability for classic games that I grew up on, such as pretty much Sega's entire library, is there

Cons:

-Will be missing out on future console exclusives. However, I have played every single Gears, Halo, and Uncharted - I'm pretty tired of them.

-No more sports games outside of FIFA and NBA 2K

....can't think of anything else ATM
