Smooth Criminal: I'd be interested to see any numbers that prove Dragon Age has sold better on the PC than on consoles. VGC shows 2.4m combined multi plat. EA claimed 2.8 million shipped on the three plats. in an article from Feb. 8, 2010. (PC gamer). Ddl nos. just aren't available and being top earner on Steam back in Nov. doesn't mean millions in sales. I would guess the number of users to be higher on PC but how many paid for their copy? Sorry for off topic.
There must be a middle ground between nightmarish drm and abandoning the PC. The biggest drawback I see is that until the next consoles release there will be little incentive for devs to push the envelope. PC gamers will only get ports close to their system specs at the beginning of each gen. $maller pc-first devs will struggle with the increasing pace of the tech advance.
