Yeah, but this is the exception to the rule. The only two games I was wishing for a PC release for were Castlevania Lords of Shadow and Red Dead Redemption.

There are lots of games that every platform misses out on. Can't play The Witcher 2, Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2 on a PS3, for example. And it's the same situation with every platform.

It's barely cheaper on PS3, even now. The PS3 version costs $21.95 on amazon.

But, again, this game coming to PC so late is the exception. Most games come out on all three main platforms (PC, PS3, 360) at pretty much the same time.

Wrong. I've been the one to bring it up a couple times simply because it is one of my favorite games and it is one of the games that I remember PS3 gamers were talking a lot about and asking to come to the PS3. But I gave other examples as well.

If you really insist on being dense about this, though, I can make lists of games that are on PC/360, or PC/PS3, or PC/Wii that aren't on the other consoles. Again, every platform misses out on some games. This is an undeniable fact.

You're ignorant. Who cares what YOU think. I'm talking about console gamers in general.

There are all kinds of petitions being signed by console gamers requesting games to come to their preferred console. PS3 gamers petitioning The Witcher 2 to come to PS3....people petitioning for certain XB1 games to come to PS4, etc.

And look at the rejoicing among Playstation fans when they found out PC games like Planetside 2, Warframe and Elder Scrolls Online were headed to the PS4.

This isn't even debatable. All gamers care about getting good games on their favored platforms.

Bullsh!t. That's why PS fans are making petitions asking for games to come to PS3...? Of course console gamers care.

People like you are so out of touch and delusional.

Hey, I'm a PC gamer and I don't think like that at all.

Developers need all major platforms in order to be profitable and continue making great games.

Not really. People mostly game on consoles because they are simpler and more straight forward.

Enthusiast gamers generally game on the PC. If you care a lot about having fantastic image quality, smooth and fast frame-rates, and tons of flexibility to use tools like SweetFX to make your games look the way you want them to, you will be gaming on PC.
