Well, sure, it would be nice if the game is coming to PC. But it's just not that easy. For one, games tend to profit from exclusivity. Developers can put all their time and work into one platform and don't have to care at all about the specifics of another or a whole bunch of other platforms. All the porting takes time, time that could be better used for the game itself. Besides, if the game was coming to every platform, who would be funding it? We're talking about a Kojima game here for crying out loud! That's nothing you can fund with your regular Kickstarter or something. I doubt Kojima would be able to make an AAA game without help from Sony (or any other big publisher). In the PC world, there is just no publisher willing to take such a risk. Mainly because Microsoft stopped caring about PC games a long time ago. Ok, Notch could step in and for once actually do something with his shitload of money. But as we know, that dude rather whines on the internet about how boring life became and how he has nothing to do instead of actually founding a new company or something... Yes, I'm still mad at that guy for that. Love Minecraft, but seriously, get yourself together, you have EVERY option in the world, you are just not using it! Oh anyway, I'm getting a little drifted away here. ^^ |
What does that mean for a game like Star Citizen though or Chris Roberts for that matter?, are you saying this doesn't work in terms for PC then in terms of exclusivity but only for consoles?. (not trying to start an us vs them thing here but I can feel we're going to that muddy water).
Also if I had that much money like Notch does I wouldn't complain about being bored lol, I do kind of understand him a bit in that he feels that his friends are leading more meaningful lives while they still work and well he doesn't have to. If I won the lotto I would still like to work and use my money to better people's lives around me/charity, me working keeps me busy in general, gives me some more money on the side and also gives me purpose, that is something I think Notch feels he is missing in his life.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
