I think it's pretty clear and to the point :P

"I ... hate it when people talk about the decline of the PC industry," he said when asked about the future of MMOs on the PC. "It's idiotic garbage spouted by morons that can't count where the players are playing. It's not like League of Legends reports numbers to NPD. The players are playing F2P games on the PC not going to retail."

If anything you should feel honoured that the Sony gods are even looking at your precious PC platform :o.

F2P is a huge market. More people on PC play games like Farmville, Club Penguin, Mafia Wars etc. than WOW, Diablo etc. The freemium model thrives on PC.

Lol John Smedly... I remember that guy on the Star Wars Galaxies forums. He used to beg forgiveness because they basically ruined SWG and the fanbase was in an uproar.

F2P games that look and play several times better than console full price retail games (+monthly fees for online if you're a lem).

DotA 2, Tribes Ascend, Planetside 2 soon, tons of quality MMORPGs, what else to ask for? The option for retail is still there as well.

Kind of like MS's new studio focused on casual and f2p Xbox titles, right? You're just beating yourself up with this nonsense.
