Why must the game studios hate on us PC gamers? Give me the same game on every platform or don't bother releasing it on a platform.I am tired of every distributor having different pre-order bonuses(Fallout New Vegas, Dragon Age 2), different platforms getting DLC at different times or not at all, and other BS.
If EA really wants to maximize their profits they should focus on digital delivery services like Steam instead of fighting them. When I buy a game on Steam it is mine for life, I cannot(as of this writing) sell a game back to Steam like I can a physical disc to Gamestop.

Once again EA, screwing PC gamers out of the loop. With PCs and Xboxs having such similar architecture there really isnt a good excuse for them not releasing it on the PC.
Okay, wait. I'm as annoyed as anyone by this ridiculous lack of PC support but how is it an "inferior copy?" You got what you paid for, just like everyone else.Rednog said:
Thanks for nothing EA.
Good thing I thought there was something weird on the air with the $60 price tag for the PC (understandable if it's an exclusive like Starcraft II) combined with not featuring even Steam achievements or GLFW (as in, generic port for easy money). Now I will only purchase this game when it goes on a 50%~75% Steam sale or something.
I can't even enter the subject of announcing DLC on release day since I am not in the target audience for being a PC user.

I think it's only arguably inferior if the DLC contains valuable story content E.G. Prince of Persia 2008. But it's definitely devaluing the PC version to an extent either way - like telling you, a few days after you buy a new car, that you can't install a GPS on it because you bought the red paintjob instead of the blue.Andy Chalk said:
That's just deplorable. They sold a product that they have no intention of supporting. This is not going to look good for EA when people get wind of this.Andy Chalk said:
But not really. PC gamers bought the base product and paid the same price for it, sure. But one of the features of the base product (on consoles, at least) is the ability to play future Dead Space 2 DLC. The PC version costs the same, but lacks this capability; thus, gameplay/control differences aside, it's now objectively inferior to its console counterparts.Andy Chalk said:
Instead of you guys complaining about lack of what I would laughably call a 'cheap DLC' in many ways, why don't you guys all rally and make a community for modding the game instead?
The only thing I, as a PC gamer, hate more then people bickering about cheap stuff which they'll most likely pirate anyway, just to be 'ironic' is when they pull the "I can mod my game" card, and the game gets next to no modding respect.
As for the record, let me state this clearly, every-time EA published a bloody darned DLC on PC (Mass Effect and Dragon Age mainly) the download figures for the TOTAL of each game was a big flop to say the least, and from reading half of the comments in here, I would say they're well justified.
Lets face it, DS2 has great modding potential...and I'm pretty sure a Reskin won't be too farfetched.

...What the... After all the friggin problems I had just getting PC to work...
~_~ Just don't sell the game for PC for fucks sake then, i'll buy it for 360, but steam is more convenient.
If I heard this news earlier, I wouldn't have bought the game. I refused to play any Ubisoft PC games due to the DRM crap, I'm not afraid to take these stands. I am not against Project 10 Dollar, I'm not sure where this fits in.
Facepalm/ I'm not even getting it on PC and this still pisses me off...Andy Chalk said:
Aw well at least I get to play through Extraction on the PS3 first. Will be good for the expansion when it comes
Fail sauce. though to be fair i don't buy DLC anyways. less its good and charges me real money instead of some arbitrary point system.
How long will it take until those boneheads at EA realise that the thought process of a loyal pc gamer is NOT:Electronic Arts representative said:
But is more like:PC gamer said:
They miss a chance for earning some extra money,PC gamer said:
if something is not for sale for a third of the hardware that the game appears on, its going to miss out on potential money.
EA has supported PC DLC before like for Mirrors Edge, even though overpriced, it was doable to buy and play this DLC.
Others, like Bioware, Valve and even Blizzard have managed to perfect the sales and distribution of extra DLC, be it for free or for a small fee!
Retarded. How can anyone say "oh yeah we just released our game" and in the same breath announce new, NOT FREE DLC without turning scarlet with shame?
No PC release is going to start more shitstorms and elitism on both sides as well.
If it's any consolation PC owners, I don't have a 360 in my dorm, so my copy of Dead Space 2 is just sitting on my desk, mocking me with its presence...

Case. In. Point. Though, I doubt this is anything more than a troll attempt.Church1766 said:

Wow, way to not be overly hostile there./sarcasmChurch1766 said:
OT: Well that sucks for people who like Dead Space. What the hell are they thinking? They basically refusing free cash.
And EA keeps wondering why PC sales are so low... It can't be the VSync bug that still hasn't been fixed after two years, or the inexplicably removed content, the complete lack of patches or the fact that we won't even get the DLC -- nooo, it must be 'cause we're all filthy pirates!
Seriously, knowing all of this, why would ANYONE buy the PC version of this game? It's like paying full price for three quarters of a game, and then you'd even have to deal with the activation servers not working right, as if all the above wasn't enough already. It's really no wonder they aren't meeting their quotas with this.
