Wooohooo, "my beloved consoles"?
No, no, no ... "my beloved PC". I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression about my preferences. Consoles are bad for progress of gaming industry. Period.
But - what you obviously failed to see in my previous post is the following - it is:
a) very difficult to create PC games that utilise the full strength of the latest hardware and yet run decently at the same time on weaker hardware - it takes too much time and it requires to many hardware-software-specific optimizations -> hence, the development of such games would take too much time (and as we all know, in business time = money)
b) most of the people still have not-so-great PCs - sad, but hard fact. Game producers know that and since they want to make serious $$$, they will try to make a game that will run on majority of current day PCs. More potential buyers = more $$$
Thats all.
I'd also like to see more and more graphically advanced PC games, but i'm also trying to be realistic. Diversity of PC hardware is both a blessing and a curse - blessing for us, users, and curse for the developers.
O and lets toss in who makes your beloved consoles. certainly not sony or MS. Nvidia and ATI along with Intel and AMD do so and guess where their main income and research comes from? PC's.
You better hope and prey that we start to see some inivative pc games that push these beloved nvidia 280gtx cards because if pc gaming just gets console ports, then gaming as we know it will be in a standstil
