lets be honest though rockstar are getting a bit lazy one of the best games they ever made (RDR) they never released on PC i dont see why anyone ports from console to pc anymore they are just ruining their chances of decent graphics when the next generation of consoles comes out not that the next gen consoles are going to be anywhere the quality of pc now anyway.

Yes but PC is the least profitable platform by far, i think its over 90% of games on PC are pirated versions

Is that our fault? it can only be down to them on the issue of security, they shouldnt be allowed to bias towards consoles because there is people (myself included) who pay for every game they play.

Hahaha, ah I hope that marketing technique works! They'll start producing games for PC's again!

Pirate's be damned! We'll still make 10% (before overheads, tax, etc.) ;)

90% seems pretty high, where is the figure coming from?

If they did the decent thing and ported console games from pc it wouldnt cost them a thing. Anyone playing on pc knows that playing on a console whatever it is xbox or sega megadrive there all crap. Though the megadrive had some awsome games.

well there is not 100,000,000 PC players for a start, id say about 5 million units would be shifted which includes pirated copies, thats 1/2 million copies bought, 1million x £25 = 12.5 mill and for the amount of extra work required its really not worth it, you have to create higher resolution textures, try and optimize for a million different hardware combinations etc etc, if i was head of Rockstar or Ubisoft or whoever, I honestly wouldnt think it was a wise investment myself

Agreed, its most likely easier to port from PC to Console than the other way round (in the sense of slightly modifying the game so it runs on a constant but potentially lesser spec).

Shame its just not the way the market's going at the minute :(

I bought a copy of skyrim recently from amazon (not a marketplace seller) and it came shrink-wrapped. Opened it up, tried to install with steam and the CD key is a duplicate???

I got a full refund from amazon but there's about a dozen people on there who had the same, and even more on the internet.

I bought another copy from steam direct, but it seems a lot of the physical copies' codes have been hacked somehow!

likely to be keygens
