Forums - Microsoft - Remedy:'Alan Wake is Xbox 360 exclusive' (PC version shelved indefinitely)

Looks like 360 has a "Real exclusive" now.

 

This game is gonna be amazing. 


Finally...I`m tired of 360/Pc versions.

Good news for 360 owners and,if anybody wants to play Alan Wake,they should buy a cheap 360 and enjoy the exclusive games. What`s wrong with that? It was about time MS stopped supporting the Pc with it`s high piracy rate. 

And if someone is offended by this decision,then you know how I feel when I buy a 360 game while many people download the Pc version of the game using torrent sites.

I knew about this almost 2 weeks ago; I thought it was posted already, lol.

Alan Wake is the new Silent Hill confirmed.

Dammit I really wanted to play this on PC, with the best graphics possible.



That's a bad move on their part imo. It seems MS will no longer support PC gaming fully, it must be painful for PC developers to know that these guys are the ones who own their gaming platform in form of OS and 3D accelerator and rendering programs (DirectX).
I understand that MS want to focus on the 360 but they should never forget where they came from and how they got huge in the first place!
I hope that someday, Microsoft will decide to publish this on the PC as well, especially since Alan Wake was one of the flagship titles to brag about and demonstrate multicore processors (on PC technology first and foremost) in the first tech demos and was indeed the reason that many PC gamers were looking forward to using their rigs for the heavy stuff! (People like me).

atleast I won't be playing alan wake, not until it comes to the pc if it ever comes. Well hopefully it flops so I don't even have to think about it.

PC gaming is dead confirmed. Who woulda thunk MS would be the ones to do it though?

Maybe they aren't making much money off of PC gaming anymore. Either way its good that they are doing that.  

PC gaming can go to hell for all i care, way to much hassle to make it even remotly worth it.

What matters are the sales, and if Alan Wake sold more on PC+Xbox360 than just X360, then your argument is pointless. I can assure you that if Alan Wake, like most good games, were to be released in both platforms at the same time, it would very likely sell more on PC.

PC gaming has been growing really fast, with over 300 millions online PC gamers today. PC gaming is stronger than ever, and many experts/analysts think PC gaming will kill Console gaming, especially with the coming of Onlive and Gaikai.
