So that&#8217;s basically everybody.<\/p>\n<p>A petition for a Steam release was signed by more than 23,000 gamers.<\/p>\n<p>Namco also announced that the Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition&#8217;s previously exclusive PC content would be available for console players at an as yet undetermined date &#8220;this winter&#8221;, so around the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The DLC includes the Artorias of the Abyss expansion (with new places to go, new things to kill, and all that good stuff), and will be tagged at 1200 MSP and $14.99 on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s out on PC on 24 August. And the bit about preparing to die? They <em>really<\/em> mean it.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2012\/05\/31\/dark-souls-pc-coming-to-steam-consoles-to-get-pc-content\/\"
