LOL Yeah. Same here. And truth be told, I know a heap of people who have switched from console gaming to PC gaming, particularly as they've gotten older. They had the consoles when they were in high school and university and during their early low paying jobs but once they got a decent paying job, they bought a PC and never really looked back.
Likely will always be a console gamer as long as there are console games to game on. Unless you are talking games like Civilization. Just prefer Consoles. Tried games like ME out on PC, hated it.

Yeah, I don't think PC gaming is going anywhere as long as people are using PCs to do other stuff. I mean, I need a good PC to be able to do my job, anyway, so why wouldn't I use it for gaming, as well?
I just wanted to say that, but maybe we shouldn't make this into a PC vs. consoles thread...

True, this is the twitter discussion thread, not a PC vs console thread.
Now... *looks around* ... where are those tweets?
I'll just leave this article over here about http://www.gdceurope...?p=238#more-238
PC gaming is definitely not dying.
@Mike_Laidlaw Do you switch between working on the two or do you have separate teams for each franchise?
Most team members move. I stay attached to Dragon Age, but try to keep up to date on what ME is doing due to shared tech now.
also is romancing someone you wrote like romancing yourself???
There's a slightly creepy Galatea/Pygmalion thing about it, yeah.
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
Plus most of us test our own romances a bunch while writing, so we're kiiiiiinda sick of them by the time we ship.

The amount of times he must've been dumped by Solas.... HEART. OF. STEEL.
Might as well be PERVERSE. STORYTELLER. GLEE

This tweet is too small to contain a meaningful #DAI discussion as anticipation intensifies. Perhaps a discussion on BSN will have be be suf ...
Did you see what I did there 
Personally would be quite happy if there was a future PC only project; could use some personal attention for this platform, IMO.
Then I would be angry with them, hahaha. Bought my PS3 just to play Dragon Age: Origins, as I didn't like to play on PC. Since then it's very uncommon to play on PC, except for MMO where I don't have a choice (Guild Wars 2). Most of the time I'm playing on my PS4 and I'm happy about it. I could consider myself serious on games, but I don't wanna to give up on my car just to play the newest games, so PS4 is very good for me.
Anyway, now I'm more excited about the new comic than with a new DLC and I can't explain this...
I understand the technical limitations, but they should really have been upfront about being unable to support the last gen consoles throughout the whole dlc cycle, not announce it half way through. The player should not have to guess that they'd have to upgrade eventually to play all the DLC if the base game was on the console they got it on.
I agree with this totally, and it's a dick move to not tell people earlier, but I can also understand why they didn't announce this when the game shipped - they probably had no idea what the console situation would look like in July 2015 as opposed to November 2014. This seems to be a change in direction that's happened because of wider trends in the industry since the game launched, and wasn't necessarily something that they could've foreseen then.
When DAI was in development for both generations of consoles nobody expected the PS4 and Xbone to be as successful as they've been, and a lot of industry commentary was full of doom and gloom about the death of consoles and the year-on-year declines in software sales. It totally made sense to hedge their bets by developing for both, and within EA there was probably modelling done that justified this.
If I had to guess, they probably did plan to release all the DLC on all platforms initially, but the faster-than-expected uptake of new consoles and the decline in the playerbase for the old ones forced their hand. Only a tiny proportion of the original players buy DLC in general, and I expect that people who buy Dragon Age DLC tend to be fairly "hardcore" videogame fans, and those people seem more likely to own a new console than not, given that the PS4/Xbone have been released now for almost two years. Those assumptions could be wrong, and of course there are plenty of hardcore players still using the older platforms.
We only have to look at the weekend MP goals (which, admittedly, are an imperfect measurement) to get the idea that the new console generation massively outnumbers the older one in terms of active players, and the gap has seemingly got bigger with time.
edit: actually let's try to get back on topic 
Ahh EP that's quite an interesting title you've changed the thread to

The way of the PC is over. More and more people are gaming and they aren't buying PCs to do it.
You're not wrong, but your conclusion is.
It's true that more people are gaming, but most games today are neither on PC nor on console. Mobile gaming (via smartphone or tablets) have had enormous growth. In fact, mobile gaming was predicted to surpass console gaming in 2015.
Most people who play games that require PC or consoles are also likely to play mobile games. The opposite isn't true.

This is perfect for anyone wanting to dip their toes into multiplayer but feeling a bit unsure... like me! 
I've played the heck out of ME3 MP, but have not touched DA:I MP. I was wondering about trying it for the first time due to the Dragon Props, so this would be helpful for me.
From http://www.dragonage...multiplayer-faq
Is MP going to affect my endings in SP?
· No. Absolutely not. Our goal with Dragon Age multiplayer is not to affect your SP campaign. We simply want to give our fans the chance to play with their friends for the first time in the Dragon Age universe.
I'm not an English native speaker. So does this "campaign" include every content in SP?
Yes is does. That's what is meant by the SP campaign.
