games.on.net - Supporting the PC: It’s okay to get upset about poor console ports, but do the right thing anyway.
This is why, if you support PC gaming, and especially if you’re one of the people who actually signed the petition, you should do the right thing and buy the game. If the game sells well, it’ll encourage other publishers to think about doing the same. It might convince more publishers to take their games to our favourite platform, and, hopefully, they’ll take the time to properly optimise them.

If it sells badly, it’s just yet another nail in the coffin of publisher confidence in the platform. And that’s the last thing we need.

It feels weird that I'm even using this sentence, but the stuff that Square Enix is publishing on PC is getting lot's of proper PC customization. Deus Ex HR, Hitman Absolution, and todays release of Sleeping Dogs for example. DX11, higher res textures, proper keyboard mapping, and even Steamworks support. And I will (and have) gladly support that effort with my cash. Little excuse for other devs to fall so short. This comment was edited on Aug 14, 2012, 20:49.
