Why did you betray PC?

Post » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:27 pm

First you decide Skyrim was just going to be a port to PC, then now you make the expansion exclusive for a month? Why should I give you my money when you choose to do this?

If you want the game, give them the money. That's all that's in the transaction. They didn't "betray" you because they didn't violate any agreement with you.

Good Lord. Once again, I have a desire to point out the political relevance of all this, but as always, I AM GOING TO BEHAVE MYSELF and http://api.ning.com/files/aTpQknif4uw*FE0gP3AEjsuvO4I8pVVk*uwcOsx*2yyFgcdzg*WeNOn-Qh06As7EjLQNndb7yfa822BxrkB6LbJUIAh*igFk/ffffuuuu.jpg?width=513&height=387

Because your money pales besides the consideration microsoft gave them.

Wasn't this "betreying" kinda obvious last year? Reasons why I didn't buy the game at release were pos optimization from beth, pos optimization from amd, no mods, expensive, gizillion bugs.

I'm pretty sure all of the above are true for the dlc.

Did Bethesda not release a Creation Kit for PC?

I think that "betrayal" is a bit over-dramatic.

The 360 has the largest amount of players of the three. With Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls went mainstream, and the 360 is all about mainstream gaming. So tell me, if you were a businessman, which demographic would you target?

This. Bethesda supports PC players with exclusive content. Its only one month to wait. If I were on PC, I wouldn't feel too bad, because it won't be as buggy when it comes out on PC.

Betray? I think you're taking our relationship with Bethesda a little too seriously.

Sounds like they made a good marketing decision to me.

Actually it's not petty at all. Console exclusives (even exclusives as a function of who gets it first) is big buisiness and drives console sales. Think about it, if you were equally torn between two consoles, except one got games a couple months earlier which one would you choose? these things factor into purchase decisions.
