replyI like that he rails on the forum culture and the 'it can't possibly be my fault' quote but fails to admit maybe people just don't want to buy his game.

i think if all games had steam access encryption/decryption required to install the game. you would see pc games selling alot more then console games.

hahah ok yes. And its why developers are pushing publishers to goto this way. its a major reason why valve released steam. It's why valve created the 'steamworks' program. You can say haha no, but half life and all its iterations has sold almost as much as the most popular mario games.

I think I'm not. I think you know I'm not. I think there are far more direct x 8-dx9 capable pc's then there are ps3's and 360s put together, I think WoW should tell you i'm not. I think even denying the fact that the market depth of pc gaming is not as vast as console gaming is silly. Do we really want to get into statistical data? On a overall sales figure pc gaming would definatly outsell consoles.
Just because certain publishers and developers are not creating actual new games. Rather they are rehashing old concepts. Iterating on previous design doctrines and making 'what we know sells'. This does in no way mean that pc gaming can no longer out sell consoles. Go ahead and create a revolutionary experiance like, half life 1, like quake 1, like duke. Create somthing new thats different from everything else. Stop creating rehashes, were in our late 20s and early to mid 30s now were tired of playing the same quake/doom/half-life/action quake/ counter-strike/ need for speed/ techmo bowl games with enw art and revolutionary graphics.
We want NEW experiances. Create those and i guarentee you , your going to sell as much as any blockbuster console game. So long as it requires auth to play and auth to decrypt/install.
