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

My opinion only, over the years, what I've seen in regards to PC's is that companies hurried production on their games without proper testing. When they came out they usually had so many bugs, that a lot of players eventually just didn't trust them any more and became more selective in what they purchased. This in turn hurt the companies in their pockets. Granted, game companies have to get them out fast in order to obtain $$ but this hurt them in the long run. In addition, there currently is a larger market for the X-box, Nintindos, Play Stations, etc, then there is for PC games. Younger players buy them like crazy. The PC games are usually found among older type players and the PC has now become used for the internet, games are secondary in relation to the internet Users. Thus, the game market is directed where the money is, toward the younger generations, thus the x-boxs etc, have become more popular and thus generates more money. Most PC only companies are hard pressed to compete in this type of market. (my opinion only)
