        ^^This. Mouse control in Dead Space is 1000x better with the in game v-sync off. : JediDwag

  You really believe EA cares more about it's image than sales? If there was a potential market in the PC, of why wouldn't they capitalize on it? By the way, what tells you that it didn't sell well? If you have actual hard evidence of low sales, I think we'd all be very interested in seeing it. FYI, the game received very good ratings from almost ever source even PC Gamer, which is just about the most biased PC gaming source imaginable.
  
  We've all seen things like this before. Developer decides to let the PC sit it out. My question is.. why are people so quick to discredit developers.? Have you ever heard of this thing called piracy. I don't think anyone realizes the scale on which people are stealing games. There are over hundreds of millions of pirates out there.. Heck, the average games is pretty much guaranteed to get stolen by a couple million people. You really don't seem to understand the world we live in. The reality is that piracy is completely out of control.
