How is something exclusive when it's multi platform? A game on the pc is still a game on another platform that can be played on it in my book. Call it console exclusive or something, but not exclusive as Mass effect is clearly not exclusive in the form off only being available for 360 owners.

Could be the fact that very few console owners really give a rats behind about the PC, and vice versa. If the game comes out on only 1 console versus 3, guess which will get a higher benefit?

 

 

I don't give a rats behind about the 360.  Doesn't mean I'm going to start saying 360 games don't count and PS360 multiplats are PS3 exclusive.  Try a better argument next time.

I understand the logic but I sort of agree with mrstickball here as well.  I tend to think these 2 markets don't overlap quite as much as some people believe.  Maybe it's just my ancedotal evidence but I have a pretty big group of PC gaming friends and besides myself I'm the only one that seems interested in console gaming at all.  A shame too because the current PC market isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

Plus if they follow the same draconian-DRM scheme as the first Mass Effect they can keep it.  I won't invest ANY money to a company that restricts their customers that way no matter how much more "enchanced" they try to tout the version.

Well, I'm a PC gamer, and I'm interested in console gaming. Let me clarify that it's hard to know a PC gamer interested in console gaming because:
- There are hundreds of millions of PC gamers worldwide (more than all home console gamers put together), so even if 20 millions of them had consoles, it would still be below 10% of the entire PC gaming userbase.
- PC is considered the superior platform and roughly everything that HD consoles offer, the PC offers more and better. So the chance of a PC gamer having a console is reduced.

The 'draconian' DRM of Mass Effect is something that probably I probably would wish on many games, since it only needs to check the disk once when you're installing the game, and after that you can play Mass Effect as much as you want without any disk in the drive. Draconian? I think you're mistaken.

What're you talking about the PC gaming's state? It's healthier and bigger than ever. After a few "darker" years of PC gaming (which coincided with the beginning of mainstreaming DD services), now PC is in full force and the amount of awesome games coming out for PC proves it. Want proof? Then how about the number AAA titles that available this gen between PC and Consoles:

90% PC games - 17 (14 if you don't count standalone Portal, HL2:Ep.2 and TF2)

90% Console games - 19

Just the fact that PC has almost as much AAA and the entire PS3/360/Wii says something.
