And piracy isn't rife amongst consoles? Even PS3's are now vulnerable.
I realise it isn't MS XBox 360 guys themselves or Sony techies preventing PC games from being more than they can be, but it is due to consoles and their appeal to more people that PC gamers are suffering.
As for upgrading etc, that is the oldest and pretty much only thing consolers always use when arguing the demerits of PC. But, this is NOT a PC vs Console thread.
Developers say that the PC game market is fading or not as big as it used to be. Ja well, firstly that's a load of shite. Secondly, can you blame PC gamers for not supporting the PC market at times? Look at the shite that gets released and PC gamers must fork out hundreds of Rands and be super grateful? "Why thank you Activision/EA/Dice/IWnet for giving me a nice pile of shit, I love it and please make more." There are still millions of PC gamers out there willing to spend money on good, decent titles. Just look at the support BC2 and MW2 has from the PC side only, despite all the kak surrounding the games. Hell, throw MoH in as well.
Developers can get off their high horses and make PC gamers a decent title. I promise, they will still make millions. But that is the problem, gaming is no longer being made by real geeky gamers themselves who love everything about it, they are more and more being taken over by power and money hungry schmucks like Bobby Kotick who only care about how much money they can make.
So maybe consoles aren't directly to blame, but they do play their part, because lets face it, far more people are likely to play on a Wii or a Xbox or a PS3 than they would on your computer. BUT, why does that mean that PC games must neglected?
