Default Re: Off Topic: A Sad Note About PC Games

It's sad that they are moving to consoles, but in their search for $$$ they have to go where the market is

I dont see all game developers ending up that way though, since its rather difficult to play strategy games that have any significant level of detail (non real-time strategy games) on a rather awkward to use 10 button controller (or however many buttons there are)

And it isnt all bad that games are being ported over to the larger market, more games are produced in that market. And games on XBox especially are easily ported to PC due to them being on windows environment anyway...

Whether the games are are desireable to the PC gaming market however is a different story. Personally i wouldnt touch games like Tony Hawks pro skater or the like, but games such as Halo on XBox are interesting and quite playable IMHO


Just my $0.02
