Before Bioware was bought by EA,MS signed an exclusivity contract for Mass Effect TRILOGY...therefore,EA had to ask MS for permission to publish ME1 on Pc. They are still negociating with MS for a Pc port for ME2 even if they OWN Bioware.
MS remains MS,the big corporation that can`t AFFORD to lose something that makes them money. They are a software company,so contracts are the bread and butter of what they do.
Gears 2 made a lot of people get 360`s...Fable 2 made a lot of people get 360`s... now Mass Effect 2 will get a lot of people to get 360`s because they played the first part on the Pc and now it`s exclusive to 360 so they NEED to buy a 360. How do you know that MS will allow ME2 to be on Pc? What about ME3 on Pc? They are not and will not be forced to own the IP/own the developer to have ME trilogy exclusive to the 360,so let`s calm down... |
ME2 has already been announced for PC and 360. >_>
And like Reazonable, I'd like a source for the bolded statement.

DO I sense a little MS hate? I don`t have the link right now,but the info is out there.
Now do you want me to go the MS lawyers so you can be 100% sure the ps3 will get some Mass Effect? The fact that ME2 will be out for Pc so you can play it without owning a 360 is still a long way off,even if it will be timed exclusive...that means EA will have to ask the rights for Pc publish again from MS...what happens if they say no?

I haven't once said in this thread that Mass Effect 1 or 2 will be coming to ps3. The first I'm sure won't, and the second isn't likely to.
However, you claimed that the game wouldn't be going to PC, when it has already been announced for PC. You also claimed that MS has exclusive rights for the entire trilogy, when I have never heard of such a thing, and I like to consider myself rather well informed on such matters.
This has nothing to do with "MS hate", but rather a lack of evidence behind anything you said.

BTW Stan I asked for basically the same reason - I want ME on PC and you imply that somehow 2 & 3 might not make it to that platform. I've read no such thing and wanted to see the link you mentioned. No hate involved.
