Aliens vs. Predator Patches Scrapped for Consoles; PC Support Unchanged
by Brian Leahy, Jul 15, 2010 12:15pm PDTSEGA has officially cut support for Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with no patches or updates planned for release, according to a forum post (via AVP.net) by SEGA assistant community manager "Clumsyorchid".
Clumsyorchid explains that "patches for the console versions of AVP... have sadly been scrapped," though there is no new information on "PC patches and would not assume there will be any changes unless stated otherwise."
Seven updates have been published for the PC version through Steam, including a day-one patch. Within the patches are numerous balance changes, fixes, and updates, none of which will make it to the console versions of the game.
Aliens vs. Predator recently received a DLC map pack, it's second, across all three platforms. It is unclear if further DLC is in development or if this signals the end of Rebellion's work on the project entirely, given that the PC patches have already been released.
Shacknews has contacted SEGA for further clarification on the matter and will update you with any response.

There is just so much money people can make off the billions of PC users, casual, hardcore, what ever.
I would no be surprised if the PC surpass the consoles and becomes the premier development platform in the coming years.
To me the bottom line is coast of development and options as the next consoles get more complicates so does the game development and coast. Sure there is Xbox Live and PSN but just look at all the options on the PC.
Then again this could be the dominate PC gamer voice in my head...
