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 seems like the author didn't know which side of the debate to take, so he just decided to argue both. Considering that he told us more than once "that's how capitalism works" I find it odd that he doesn't seem to grasp that if PC gamers buy the crappy ports like he is suggesting then we will continue to see more and lazy console ports because we tell the publishers we're okay with it when we buy them. And THAT is how capitalism works.
