I find the intent of this thread amusing, considering how many PC gamers apparently feel it's their right to complain that Origins wasn't up to snuff on the PC because it was "obviously a console port".
I have yet to encounter any game (ANY game) that didn't generate exactly these sorts of complaints. It doesn't have the most perfect up-to-date graphics. It runs slow on my 8-year-old machine that I refuse to upgrade. It's too hard. It's too easy. It didn't deliver to me the perfect entertainment experience I expected.
I remember the days when I would have to completely re-write all the .bat and .ini files for my operating system to get a new game to run--and even then something would not work properly (usually the sound) because of some bizarre and arcane hardware conflict.
Nowadays, I can buy games for my computer, throw them in th DVD tray, and they RUN. It is AMAZING. And most of them are actually FUN, and provide engaging entertainment for many times the duration that the same money spent on movies or books would have gotten me--especially if I get them off the cheap shelves. I got Diablo off the cheap shelves and I think I logged like 200 hours in that game--for $20. And I know my dad logged more time than I did. Assuming 2 hours is a reasonable length of time for a movie, I would have spent about $1250 on tickets ALONE at the theater.
People expect to get so much for the price of a pair of pants.
