I’ve bought and followed most of the FPS exclusive Sony PS3 releases. Rage is the first multi-platform FPS I’ve bought and followed that has had such a venomous response. Sure all the excusive games had their distracters, but nothing like I’ve seen here.

It appears by looking at sales statistics that the PC platform only accounts for about 10% of sales. It also appears that 90% of the most venomous attacks on this game are from a subset of this minority.

I assume the vocal aggressiveness of this small percentage of users has affected the sales numbers on the other two platforms. If the vocal minority deterred more sales from the other two platforms than their own numbers, then there is no reasonable developer/publisher that would continue to target this minority group.

Any smart developers watching this fiasco, would be crossing off PC plans altogether. It’s just too risky on all the tech support costs on the thousands of variables in personal PC gaming machines, let alone the negative publicity of such a demanding consumer.

You guys and gals are killing yourself.

BTW, great game ID/Besheda -- I loved it.
