Why do you think most PC dev's cant even afford non-web-based advertising or even shelf space at retail?

AdrianWerner

PC market is simply niche and smaller. It also has much lower costs. It's true that PC devs can't afford huge marketing campaigns, but because console devs do, they can't afford to make anything but as-mainstream-and-casual-as-humanly-possible games

Why do you think it's almost impossible for a console developer to survive on it's own and not go bancrupt, while its what almost all PC devs manage to pull off?

Majestic and Iron Lore, I accept your apology, Adrian.

you know another huge factor , atleast for me personally

what i played on pc were mostly flash games, mods, gunbound and other free online korean games, something hard to factor sales into

i mean i even worked on several mods and interacted with games on an entirely new level, that's life experience and friendships from the community, not just some xbox live competition american spirit crap

i'd rather a system with free games, heck even psychonauts was free for a month to download, gta games, rtcw, and all it takes is some old $5-10 copy of AOE, HL, Quake, JKA, Unreal to play a ton of free mods on

Finally, a sensible hermit based post appears : )

None of those games sold well compared to how much fanbase there is, unlike consoles which get many million sellers despite much lower fanbase : ]

AdrianWerner

and very few console games sell well compared to how much they costed to make and advertise. 1mln? Please, that's almost a failure. List me console games that sold over 2mln copies at least, anything below that isn't worth mentioning for consoles. Heck... considering how much they are advertised for a game not to sell at least 2mlns on consoles? Not impressive at all

I don't even need to do anything but remind you that competition for games is largest on consoles : D

[QUOTE="wok7"]BTW Orange Box was just a rehash of a game that came out much earlier, so no, it is not current : (dgsag

There go Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and GTA4 out the window...

New games =/= repackaged games

[QUOTE="karasill"]Many games do sell millions of copies (Crysis included). Maybe it's because good PC games don't need extra "flair" on their boxes to catch somone's attention. PC gamers are usually more aware of what is good and what isn't so most know what they're buying. Don't you have something better to do then make a pointless thread? I mean your attempt to bash PC gaming has failed yet again. cobrax75

Everyone says PC games sell so much better but really they don't : (

WOW and Starcraft say no. seriously, why do you feel the need to give console gamers such a bad name?

Other than WoW, can you list any current games? thawt so

[QUOTE="Koalakommander"]WoK has been destroyed. How do you redeem yourself after a thread this stupid?karasill
Ever since his "PC's can't do HD" thread, he's been a laughing stock of SW's. He just bashes PC gmaing and chooses to remain ignorant, twist facts into his favor, and just plain acts like a fanboy. He dislikes PC gaming for no real reason (at least he hasn't told us why). Arguing with him is like arguing with a blind guy about what does the color blue look like, there is no winning with him.

Atcually it wa sjust asking if PC's do HD, not can't,

But more importantly what makes you think I hate PC and bash it?

Its like I love God but I still question it : p
