Morrowind was on Xbox... and it was great.
This thread has become a hige "PC Gamers are the majority of the gaming market"
Its True, everyone owns a PC, there are many PC exclusive games and indie games.
However one must accept that multiplatform games, and AAA companies, focus on consoles because of sales. 3-5 consoles vs Pc, the sales are bigger on consoles everytime. Again! this is MULTIPLATFORM games. not the entire market as a whole,
Mobile gaming is winning that me thinks
How about "for more sales"? Kind of like changing the type of game from CRPG to Action RPG to generate more sales. However, this does step away from their stated position of "built for PC gamers by PC gamers", doesn't it? The fact that they have already, in the first few days of release, come out and said "We're going to work on it" means they know they messed up. But tell me, in all honesty, if you sincerely believe they could have sold enough copies of this game on consoles alone to justify the next game? It's one thing to diversify your market, in fact, that's smart business. It's another thing to do so by alienating your existing customers, something that, when you rely as much on returning business, or moreso, as the case may be, isn't smart business. Hence the rapid deployment of "We are aware, and we are working on it" PR.
For all that, I'm quite enjoying the game. I can recognize that there are problems with it, and that they directly, and adversely, affect the way I intended to play the game, but can still manage to have loads of fun playing. Yes, there are times where I'm cussing enough to make my cat think I'm on the phone, or talking to her, but overall, I'm not having a bad time.
