Something smells fishy...
Posted by: n357
When someone from Bungie says "community", what they really mean is "group that brings the most revenue". PC gamers aren't the biggest source of income, so they're not worth thinking about or mentioning.
Has anyone from Bungie even once stood up for us over the H2V travesty? Not to my knowledge. Nothing in it for them.
Microsoft, Bungie, EA, Valve, Epic, whatever. They're all the same. Making up false sentiments to cover their extreme greed and power mongering. Screw em.
Exactly. Apparently, sadly, console gaming is more favored by the gaming industry for some reason even though the games look better on powerful gaming PC's or anything that's good enough to play the latest games that have high requirements (quad core processors and relatively powerful graphics cards).
Yeah I agree the H2V travesty left many people upset and no corporation or gaming company (Microsoft or Bungie) said anything to support the community or did anything to fix the problems with H2V. And you're correct if there is no profit to be gained from a game why would Microsoft or Bungie pursue making it and provide adequate support? The answer is simply that they wouldn't.
Corporations and companies such as Microsoft and Bungie will always gravitate towards making the bigger profit many times at the expense of its customers. Which is sad in my opinion because it's greedy.
I think that Halo Combat Evolved PC was considered to exist during its time. But since so much time has passed since then I think that could be the reason why people don't look back to it as an important event in gaming and Halo history.
Halo Combat Evolved was initially for the XBOX and so was Halo 2 however Halo 2 had online multiplayer that could be accessed from the XBOX console. Online multiplayer was not available for Halo Combat Evolved. So one had online multiplayer via console and the other didn't I believe that pits the Halo 2 community and the Halo Combat Evolved for PC community against each other. Which is why people who are mainly console gamers might not acknowledge Halo Combat Evolved PC as significant in gaming/Halo/PC history.
To add a new point in this discussion I believe the PC community will continue to shrink because people are more willing to play console games now because it's for one more heavily advertised or only so. And for the other gaming on PC is not cheap (parts, computers...etc) which is much more expensive than a 300 dollar console. The prices between purchasing a computer and or parts and purchasing a console are so grossly different it makes me sick.
