I also think that bioware should stick to their word and keep it exclusive, like they said when they were interview by Game Informer. "Mass Effect 2 is on Xbox and PC only" guess not everyone can stick to their word.
Yeah, so what platforms was ME available on when that quote was given? Here, I'll tell you: NONE. That's right: none. ME2 hadn't even been released for anything yet at the time that was said. And you really think they should have started talking up the over-a-year-in-the-future-and-likely-not-even-greenlit PS3 version when asked if it would be on the PS3?
That's probably not even legal, especially given the context in which that quote was given: Jay Watamaniuk made some comments at an event in Poland saying ME2 would "probably" be on the PS3. Obviously, they were this close to approving the port that's since been completed in the last year. Problem was, the intarwebs turned that brief comment into a rumor that it really would be released on all three platforms simultaneously on Jan 26, 2010 (people had already been feverishly speculating about a PS3 version before he said that). A couple online retailers had even listed it for the PS3 for that date.
Well, that was a problem. Like, a "potential lawsuit" or potentially-pay-a-hefty-fine type of problem. They HAD to make it perfectly clear that, at that particular moment in time, ME2 PS3 did not currently exist and was not going to be available, and that only the PC and 360 versions would be in stores come January.
Besides which: how does that quote even remotely mean "We will never, ever, EVAR release ME2 on the PS3! Xbox and PC only....FOREVAH!!"? Protip: it doesn't. Your problem is that you took an obvious band-aid applied in response to a PR gaffe, ignored all the context, and decided it was some sort of verbal contract that "your" game would remain where you wanted it. Well, it was no such thing. It was actually a plain statement of fact: at that time ME2 was only coming, for certain, to the PC and 360.
BTW, that quote is not from a Game Informer interview. It's not from an interview at all. It's from a post on the old ME forums.
