OK, so they cater to console gamers again why?

Cause console gamers may complain but they complain to themselves. PC gamers post online all over the place when they find a shitty game thats mainstream while console gamers say well fuck I cant believe I spent $60 on that, then they shelve it and thats all. So when the gamer who does research goes out there he sees a million this game is awful for pc and on xbox and PS3 he reads the fan reviews and sees a few naysayers. Its like when BF3 and CoD3 came out a while back. I was reading reviews and it was obvious that the reviewers were biased, they couldnt stop gushing about how great the graphics were, (This is all for CoD BTW), the amazing gamestyles and original gamestyles, and the awesome explosions and storyline.

Now anyone who has seen a CoD game knows that the graphics are outdated, the gameplay is exactly the same as the last 5 years of CoD and its been done by everyone else before, and that there is practicly nothing new added to the game ever. Much to my surprise when I went over to the PC version of the review posted a few days later it was a copy past of the Xbox version. Of course the PC one had a consumer rating of 2/10 while the xbox's was at 7/10. Market to the lemmings.

Just had an evil idea for that photo at QuakeCon. Make a banner of it and string it up near the entrance to the BYOC, and an arrow over the dirty console peasants pointing to console village. Reminds me of "Hippies use back door" signs.

You might have to message Yahtzee and get permission. Specialy since its a massive public event. New favorite thing is how fucking retarded "game critics" are. Look on metacritic at ME3 and all the "critics" give it like 90-100's and most of the players give it like 3-7. Apparently when you dont get payed for reviewing your much more critical.

Read White, don't just look at pictures. Those numbers take into account Zynga, so Farmville and shit that isn't on console, and MMOs, which last I checked weren't on console. I would like to see the same chart for ONLY FPS games, and I bet we would have our answer as to why EA/Activision/ETC favor console gamers.

Yeah, but both suck so they don't count =P.

Also note that it is probably easier to do a game for console since they are pretty uniform. All have the same hardware etc. Plus, like was mentioned with BF3 and VOIP, they can ignore doing things like...well VOIP since xbox will do it for them anyways. Plus console gamers will buy shit if it is hyped up enough (its like MMOs but with more people doing it! =P)
