Because I'm responding to about a dozen people, not just you. Do you even read the posts in here? Have you not opened up the 57 post "No Bulletstorm PC demo" topic and seen how many people said "well, now I'm definitely pirating it."

Sorry if not worshiping it makes me seem negative to you, but this board typically has its head in space as far as industry economics, industry trends and console abilities go. I'm the outlier because I don't agree.

More exaggeration and nonsense. You do this in every topic, one person says something stupid or gets understandably upset at unfavorable news then you profess that you are just playing the opposition position to some huge number of posts, pretending to be the voice of reason in a sea of idiots.

No you don't, you disparage the platform at every opportunity.

No, Verno, I disparage the stupid attitude many here have, not the platform itself.

For every person like Prez that thinks sensibly you get a thousand "OMG I'm going to pirate the game! That'll learn'm! Then they'll be all sad that the game was pirated so much and not even bother releasing on the PC next time. It'll be awesome!"

Positivity about the status of the industry? Well, ASeven is hands down the most negative man around, but he's not the only one here living in some fairy tale where the PC is the savior and everything else is doomed. The reality isn't quite that. PC sales are up. New consoles are coming soon. PC sales will plummet when they hit. They'll begin to rise again after that.

You claim to but I never see any evidence of it considering you are always disparaging it on the forums. Never a positive thought from Beamer.

treating the market this way are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of PC gaming 'doom' that a bunch of industry lemmings will pick up on and echo through their ignorance.

Two way street.
Who is going to be the first to give in a game of chicken? The people making millions of dollars or the people seeing their favorite hobby drying up?

No demo, Games for Windows Live, $60 price point, flippant and dismissive attitude, no digital delivery pre-order deal... it's like they don't care what-so-ever how well it sells it on PC.

Maybe expand your horizons a bit and recognize that there is actually some pretty great stuff being released on consoles, rather than steadfastly holding on to this ridiculous notion that you are somehow superior to gamers who would dare to enjoy other platforms, feeding into the stereotype of PC gamers being entitled, condescending pricks unable to let go of a bygone era. Your allegiance to PC gaming is essentially not much different from grade-schoolers arguing over who has the more awesome console.

And with the last two posts perhaps this topic should be left to die.

But again we come back to the same problem, gamers are stupid and will eat up any shit its thrown at their way. Thankfully PC gamers are reaching a breaking point where they are so fed up of being dealt shit and being treated like shit and then being treated like shit when complaining about being treated as such.
