Forums - Gaming - Supposed Reddit Xbox Dev Tries To Give PC Titanfall Owners The Finger

Not only do I find this hilarious for the obvious reasons mentioned above, but I'm in the boat that's not buying the game... AT ALL. LOLOLOLOLOL.

wait where does he try to "give the finger to PC Titanfall owners"? Pointing out that MS makes Windows isn't an insult in any way...


He said it to be spiteful to those who were saying they would just buy it on PC instead of an Xbox platform. Mostly in response to future PS4 owners. It was less about those who are simply buying it for PC, if at all, and more about the ones who were saying they planned on getting it for PC since it's not coming to PS4. The title was already long enough. I didn't want to clarify in the title who he was speaking to. I figured people would just read what the link showed and understand.

So you are saying you deliberately created a sensationalist title to troll for hits, by trying to make out it was an anti PC gamer thing...

Nah. I'm not anyone who cares how many people jump into any threads I make. I make very few to begin with. You're reading too much into it. The title was accurate. I just didn't want to create an even bigger title. I just quickly came up with it and posted it. Truth be told I really wasn't even thinking about how it sounded. It was the first thing that came to mind and I went with it. After I posted it I thought about changing it but people had already jumped into the thread and made a comment about it so I didn't bother.

in future just use the title of the article you are linking and then you are covered. And your title is not accurate at all, they dev in no way is "trying to give PC titanfall owners the finger" if anything it's the opposite as he is basically saying that MS are happy for people to get it on PC (which is implied by them not cockblocking the PC version when they made the exclusivity deal anyway).

Lets not forget either that some smart chap... (Smarter than any of us) will probably get the game running in Linux anyway even if via Wine.
And Microsoft is generally fine with that too.

Yeah. The next time I go to post something that will obviously cause some heated discussion of any amount that's what I plan to do. I read it and I seriously doubt that is what was being said. Considering the uproar the exclusive announcement caused and the number of people saying they were just getting it on PC instead, I seriously doubt an anonymous MS developer innocently reminded them that most of them use an OS made by their company.

Considering that I was already going to buy it on PC prior to the announcement of total exclusivity and it had nothing to do with not wanting to buy an X1 but rather because I prefer my FPS games on PC, no. I was not one of those gamers. He did, however, make me want to be one with that comment. You don't seem to understand how bad this can be for MS's PR, do you? He is absolutely giving the finger to people, regardless of whatever defense of his you wish to rush to, and that is NEVER a good thing to do because you piss off potential customers. Even if they weren't buying an X1 for Titanfall they may have been later for other reasons. MS's PR has been a joke this entire time. From Mattrick's idiotic comments prior to the 180, to Nelson's remarks about the X1's capabilities that he later has to shove his foot in his mouth for, to the lies and evasive maneuvers over the resolution of third-party games, and now what many Xbox fans have called a credible Reddit source in the past telling PC gamers to basically "suck it" over Titanfall for not buying an X1 for it. Yeah. Bang up job. He may be responding to fanboys mostly, but that is still a very bad PR move and still not even accurate to combat fanboyism with because you're basically saying, "HAH! You gave us $100 for an OS instead of $620 (plus recurring $60 yearly) to  help us justify making it console exclusive and helping us pay off the losses we take on every console!". Pretty weak. Very funny to comprehend.

This long, angry reply just confirms what I said. You are one of the people he is referring to and he is exactly right.


A great deal of PC gamers are using a pirated version of windows, so no, this idiot is just that, an idiot.
