you are not helping in trying to alleviate the image of PC gamers being a bunch of elitist, close-minded, thin-skinned jerks, morons.

As a fan of the PC version, I truly hope they get a profit out of it. I was slightly upset about no more updates, but then again, I still can't beat the last bosses. My only concern is the control port. I guess they could use the right stick as the mouse, but at least for me, that would seem awfully clunky and wouldn't work very well with some items. I wonder if they would use some buttons as hotkeys.

Why am I not surprised?

I'll actually tell you. Because once I googled around for meagre hope of an amnesia console release, and the bile and rage at the very idea of one honestly shocked me. I knew there'd be some elitism, some saying that console gamers don't deserve amnesia, but I didn't expect full on death threats if frictional ever dared tried to spread their fanbase.

I can actually already play terraria, and I enjoy it very much, and look forward to console gamers being able to play it. I honestly don't understand why PC gamers get so angry when console gamers are able to play the games that they've been raving about.

Fixed that headline for you :)

Disregarding how condescending the OP felt I'm truly glad for my Xbox and PS3 brethren, may they enjoy the game as much as I once enjoyed it.

I'm not gonna lie, I can see where PC gamers (like me) are coming from. Why? Because PC games never get to hold onto their exclusivity. Consoles do. Whenever a game that consoles don't have is available on PC people beg for a version for Xbox or Playstation. And so far, I can think that almost all their pleas are met. They're getting a MOBA (LOTR), they got Minecraft, they got Witcher 2, Plants V Zombies, Crisis 2, and a load of older titles I won't list. What have PC gamers got? We got Dark Souls... and not an amazing port at that. What other EXCLUSIVES have we got? I'd love to have Halo or Uncharted. But we won't get it. No matter how much QQing we do, we'll NEVER have them. PC gamers always get the short end of the stick. So yeah, I'm a little angry that consoles can be exclusive but PC can't. And don't say we have tons of exclusive Indie games, because so does Xbox live arcade and PSN. (only one I can remember being ported was Greed Corp.)

Also, I eagerly anticipate the list of console -> PC ports someone is going to throw at me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't think of any GOOD ports.

I just flicked through the page, looks like most of the whining is that Consoles get extra stuff and PC have to wait a little for it?

I'm not sure why they care some indie game is on consoles. Big Whoop.

I'm sure they will get their extra content in time why ***** so hard about it?

Dwarf Fortress?

Two of the Myst games?

The Longest Journey?

Starcraft?

Diablo?

World of Warcraft?

Spore?

SimCity?

Civilization?

The Binding of Isaac?

All of the above are PC exclusives.

Yeah, whatever, man.

Meh, being upset is understandable. For current fans of the game, release to a new console is completely irrelevant, it's an update not intended for them, so obviously they're not going to be fond of it.

The basis for the rage I assume, is that they feel the time spent working to port the game would have been better spent improving the game they'll actually playing. Reasonable enough, but stupid considering the developer could just as well have done nothing at all, it's not like he's under any obligation to continuing updating things.

In other words, being upset is only a valid response if the developer had additional plans for the PC version which were being put on hold for the console developments. As stated, that is not the case, and further updates for the PC version are not intended either way, so... people can shup, I guess.

Of course, even if that weren't the case, big deal. He can do what he wants.

My copy of Diablo 1 for Playstation begs to differ with you.

Eh... I think this is similar to the TWEWY iOS port announcement: build some hype, announce something that those who love the game don't care.

Diablo II and III, then. Point remains.

Pedantics are pointless, man.

Maybe... just maybe... they are, so trying to fix the image is pointless?

As much as I'm willing to shut up and play my Dwarf Fortress, Tropico and classic retro goodness, I've accepted long ago that I'm alone in that.

(Also, you suck at trying to paint people as "not jerks" when you use the word "morons" right afterwards.)

I keep hoping that PC gamers of the ilk that complained about this are just an extremely vocal minority.

...but my brain is telling me they're probably a larger minority than my gut wants to admit. I know folks on this site don't like the shorthand of "irrational, unfounded feelings of entitlement" (said shorthand being "entitlement"... silly thing to make into a colloquialism, but there it is), but this is most certainly that. "Fuck the other guy getting any access at all to what I have, I'd rather what I have is made marginally better!"

Makes me sick, honestly. That's the sort of thinking that children are supposed to have trained out of them, in order to meet the absolute minimum requirement to join a society of any kind.

Or maybe I'm just old.

You got a Civ port, it was called Civilization Revolution. Yeah, it was bad, but so are our ports. Binding of Issac IS coming to consoles. Starcraft and Diablo were ported to N64, old ones at least. Spore was ported to the DS, but not consoles. Ok, you got me there. World of Warcraft? Good luck running running that with 512 mb of ram, it needs at least 1GB, not to mention Xbox and PS3 wouldn't allow them to update rapidly. I don't know what the longest journey is so yeah I guess you have me there. The Myst games were made YEARS AGO, you want a port now? It's a little late. And tell me how you'd physically play SimCity or Dwarf Fortress with a controller. If a console can't properly play it, its not the developers fault they don't port it.

Also:

-SOCOM series
-Infamous series
-LittleBigPlanet series
-Killzone Series
-God of War Series
-Halo Series
-Sly Cooper series
-Gears of War series
-Jak Series
-Grand Turismo Series
-Heavy Rain
-MAG
-Viva Pinata series
-Mod Nation Racers
-Motorstorm
-Ratchet and Clank Series
-Kingdom Hearts series
-Crackdown Series
-Banjo Kazooie
-Wipeout
-White Chronicle Chronicles
-BlazBlu
-3-D dot game heroes
-Metal Gear Solid series
-Valkyria Chronicles
-Ratchet and Clank
-Warhawk
-Ace Combat series

Note that most of these are series so the list should be at least twice as long. Also, I could think of many more BAD console exclusives, these are only the good ones. Find me this many GOOD PC games.

Wouldn't PC gamers be happy that a game they enjoy now has more exposure?

It's not like a PC gamer has to buy the console versions.

People will get mad at anything, how does it invalidate their purchase of the PC one in any way? New content for the console ones, well it has come out waaaaay later. Besides, you don't know if they will do a Witcher 2 and enhance the pc one after, so chillax.
