This isn't a 'problem' just confined to the PC, though. There aren't many big budget exclusives for anything, and there won't be when costs are $30 million upwards.

That is correct.  And that has been discussed already in this thread.  The "problem" for PC is that now developers are becoming inclined to implement console game design philosophies onto the pc gaming platform with big budget multiplat titles.  It is pertinent to this thread because IW's CoD:MW2 decisions seems to fall directly into this category.

This is the biggest problem. Console design does WORK on the PC but it is just shitty and low level of quality. Meanwhile the opposite is not true, PC design does NOT work on the cosoles at all, whethr it is because of extremely restrictive controls, less mature audience, or whatever, it jsut doesn't translate well. I mean seriously, do you see The Witcher's interface or the sequence where you can get that girl get raped replicated on the consoles any time soon? That's on top of the pretty nudity laden cards you get too.... It's just not a game for a console in any way shape or form.

Yes, I know your stance on console designed games.  Macros, keyboard shortcuts, and extremely easy aiming and precision == quality.  Fortunately, I enjoy all kinds of games, on both platforms.

Mature content is also a nice benefit. Before you throw the Mass Effect sex scene I need you to remember that you could sell yourself for caps back in Fallout 2 almost a decade earlier. Also if you wonder why, it's because idiots that cmplained about the same ME sex scene are too retarded to actually play PC games and the ones who do protest are too small of a minority to start anything big. So console developers keep throwing kiddie things out at the consoles for pure self-preservation.
