wut? DA was killed by MS after they acquired major share. They had potential.

Freelancer and Brute force sucked

Freelancer was so far ahead of its time. You calling it crap will not make it crap.

Meh. I didn't :) At least under Chris Robert's rule Wing Commander was the ultimate videogame sci-fi saga.

PC gamers don't seem to need MS to please them or try harder. Valve is already doing a great job with that and there are plenty of games to play without MS help. I don't see what the problem is. They makes Windows and that is good enough when it comes to MS and the PC.

News flash:

They don't owe you anything.

DragonfireXZ95

They don't. That's also why most of their crap has tanked with PC gamers except for Windows 7.

Oh good I mean with rampent piracy killing pc gaming I was worried that actually meant something.
Let me edit that I should say ravaging Pc gaming not killing it since PC gaming could never die...I mean it could never turn into mmo and facebook gaming...

that was a top game, i really enjoyed it, RTS games aren't usually my type of game but i enjoyed everything with that game. the CGI cut scenes are incredible still dont see stuff that lovingly crafted & detailed on 360 IMO.

They should bring it to PC though, let's be honest. It has been long enough.

Along that same line of thinking, it's been long enough that we should have seen an announcement for a HW2. :o Eh, no doubt next gen fo sho. :P

Well duh but they pretty much ruined their current relationship with PC Gamers and some are even tempted to beat the crap out of Cliffy B. for what he said.

Does being a business excuse being a dickhead to certain group of gamers?

NoodleFighter

Clearly never heard of prioritization and forecasting

They usually forecast based on current trend what sells and where, they then focus on these areas first they then focus on these as they are essentially the key demographics.

In the case of bulletstorm it may have been forecast (taking previous trends into account) that it might not sell aswell, so thus less money is poured into that version.

Simple rule of thumb why invest more into a platform that has a high chance of not selling more.

Who said they had to invest more into PC then consoles? Just treat them as equals or very close to it

Seriously is making a specific group of gamers on a platform what 2 months later for a demo AFTER LAUNCH really going to help your sales?

They should act in whatever manner maximizes long term revenue. If that's as equals, good for you. If not, too bad.
