Well, evidently Shadow Realms is only coming to PC.  Personally, I find this news incredibly dissapointing.  I am probably one of the biggest Bioware fans that there is, but I refuse to play PC games anymore.  This news has killed any interest I had in their new IP...

anybody else dissapointed?

Why not? There's no generational gap with a need for expensive upgrades; the games are cheaper; you can almost always choose between KB+M and a controller, and Steam Big Picture means the latter is actually pretty workable now.

I have just had the worst luck with pc components going out on me.  Then always having to deal with balancing the settings to achieve a good frame rate or upgrading my equipment... It just got really annoying so I decided to drop pc gaming.

Considering how it looks and the fact it's Frostbyte I would imagine very well. I mean seriously it is not a looker

Yeah, thats, part of the reason I was expecting it to go to consoles... It isnt even usuing all the resources a pc only title could use!  I guess we could still get a late port to consoles, but thats kind of lame... Oh well...

Most PC exclusives aren't super demanding these days. This game is probably PC focused as it there are still barriers to rapid patching and flexable development on consoles. And for EA they can go direct to consumers via Origin, which makes sense for this kind of game from a development and business model perspective.

But as I said the game will probably end up on consoles eventually if it is a success. Just like DayZ and Space Engineers etc.
