Problem is that once Vista becomes more mainstream, I question whether people will go back and buy the game at the current price.
Microsoft missed a huge opportunity by not bundling the game or giving customers a better deal for buying both Vista and H2 at the same time.
Currently, the biggest obstacle to H2V saturation is the ridiculously expensive cost to get into it. Vista costs money, the game costs money, and some would argue that without a gold Live membership, the game is somewhat crippled.
The game needs to become significantly more affordable if people expect a big online community. Whether or not it is even a good enough game to draw in players is another matter altogether.
The whole H2V launch has sorta been a slap in the face for Bungie. They didn't put nearly enough effort into the port considering the price, and PC gamers who generally are much more savy than console gamers aren't buying into the hype. Price the game at 19.99$ and lets see what happens. The game is probably only worth 20-30 bucks considering it is a port and all the awesome cross platform features as well as DX10 hardware support never materialized.
That and most ppl look at review on a game before they buy and to be quite honest this game has had nothing but bad reviews from most sites including this one, with good reason i might add.
