Good news for iGP.

As a PC gamer like rob, I do feel quite saddened that games designed on PC's are never released on PC.

Sometimes though they get released later on PC and the main reason for this, by my reasoning (especially for GTA 5; a game for gamers not just to make money) the ps3 and 360 version have already been released and tbh they dont do the game justice... they are running on 7 yr old tech afterall and the tech wasn't even top range at the time. so i think what happens is they kinda have to bump up the graphics/general quality for a PC release

Finally. Someone who talks some sense. lol :p joke.

Yeah. It saddens me that the like of Bobby Kotick from Activision actually have the ordasity to come out with statements like "Why are we even bothering making games for PC when they do nothing but rip off games." The same time where 300k x-box account gets banned.. They even openly say that they aim at the console market because they are willing to part with more money.. (No it's the partents who buys the games for their children.) This has nothing but a knock on effect on the PC games. EA are the exact same. They threatened Microsoft with pulling FIFA and Tiger Woods golf if they didn't close down their sports dev department. (At a time when Microsoft was making better games.) Links 2002 and 2003 was so much better than anything EA had to offer.. They won because of money = licensing.

So yeah. It annoys the hell out of me when console gamers are allowing the whole industry to go down the pan.. and yes. It is the console side that is messing the whole gaming industry up. Gone are the days of Add Ons or Expansion pack.. Now we are left with devs releasing around 90% of the game and holding back 10% to re-sell as DLC's.. Who laps it up. Yep. Console gamers.

That is why I do not buy EA games any more and have not played an Activision game since MW1.. They took the PC servers away because of the console market. Fact!!

It's lazy devs that I can not stand and the ones who develop PC and console games to the best are devs who should be pushed to the front and the likes of EA boycotted by gamers!!

When was the last Boxing / Ice Hockey games released on the PC ??? It was 2009. (Look it up) Why is this.. EA and them openly saying that they don't care about PC's.. (Yet develop ALL games on a PC.) So if someone like CM goes under.. It's nothing but a good thing for the whole industry.


I'll ask 1 question that I have asked many people.

Grid 1 or Grid 2 ???

Grid 1. Released the game and over a year later, they bought out an expansion... A far far far better arcade racer.

Grid 2. Released with DLC's released on the same day as the main game.. (10% of content held back to sell to do nothing but make more money.) No where near as good as the 1st game!!

This is why there are so many new devs that have split off from main companies and have started to make their own stuff.. because they are sick of PC gamers being ripped off.

Guns of Icarus - E3 new developers award.
Minecraft - E3 Best new game. (When it was still in BETA and now Notch is a multi millionair.)
PCars - A Spilt off team from Need for Speed as they also had enough of EA's ways.

1000's of new companies have started up through kickstarter because of 1 reason and 1 alone.. They have left big companies because they are sick of the way they operate.. They say that they have been told to make slim games that make profit... Welcome to modern gaming fokes. :)

Phew - after reading this whole thread from start to finish I am off to play a nice game of Monopoly (board game)
