I don't recall Valve making a broken console port, unless Portal 2 and the Half-Life 2 games were somehow riddled with bugs that I was somehow unaware of. At the very least, never broken, despite bugs.8bitlove2a03 said:Thousands of PC gamers steal every single game they own, whine about invasive DRM, and playing games that are blatantly designed for console players, then ***** if a company acknowledges that it's not worth the effort to try and please them? Is this really happening? Ubisoft makes console games for console gamers, then makes a PC port if they think it will make a reasonable amount of money. PC gamers need to get over it, just as I eventually had to get over the fact that Valve (my favourite developer, despite the fact that I'm more or less a console gamer) makes PC games for PC gamers, then occasionally makes a broken console port. This is just how things work.
Secondly, if a developer is going to port a game, they should either do it right or not at all. There is no excuse for releasing games in such shoddy condition. And we should not be enabling that kind of unprofessional behaviour. These developers are not children to be coddled, and we would do well to show them through our wallets that the kind of practices that give rise to these type of games are unacceptable.
Also, that might be a statistic to take pause at, really, -thousands- of gamers steal every single game they own? Oh wow...if you know, there weren't millions of us. :/
