Anti-PC trend? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:20 pm

What the heck is going on this year? I've noticed that Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop have leaked their Black Friday advertising -- and there's nothing for PC users being advertised. Then Bethesda joins the movement with,

"November 17, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks?, a ZeniMax? Media company, today announced that Dead Money, the first downloadable content for Fallout?: New Vegas?, will be available exclusively on Xbox LIVE? for the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft beginning December 21, 2010."

Are manufacturers **trying** to wean us off of PCs entirely? Or are Micro$oft, Nintendo, et al paying them to NOT promote anything PC?

This whole entertainment genre started with PCs. Why are we being left behind and left out? Why is Bethesda supporting the trend?

OMG. The one game that I ~love~... and, the DLC is on the ONE system that I don't own. FFS!

Not so sure about the trend being a trend but we already have a thread to discuss the first DLC and you may discuss that here:
