I sure as hell don't appreciate it and I don't have to accept it

I'm not really sure how you expect people to react. If your favorite series gets dumbed down, should you be happy because the publisher is making more money..? As gamers, we don't really care about profits, we care about quality. We are fully aware of why games get dumbed down but that doesn't mean we have to like it.

MacD, we don't want it two ways, that's the thing. Many here at bluesnews don't care for console ports even if they are given some PC love.

I'll try to summarize the sentiment here..

We PC gamers want a Battlefield game that has development targeted for the PC platform, like BF1942/BF Vietnam/BF2 were. DICE isn't taking PC gamers seriously, still despite these promises. Sure they want to develop the PC version beyond the console editions but still the game itself comes across as a simple console game for 12 year olds.

Many PC gamers use PC's because we don't like the consoles for many reasons, like how the games are simplified and features removed so that they are accessible to the 'masses.'

We find casual and accessible games insulting to our tastes, especially when a studio which made a legendary game like BF1942 to take a 180 degree turn and make games like BF Heroes, 1943 and to a lesser degree, BF:Bad Company. They've given their fans the finger.
