Fall of Cybertron not coming to PC, Cry havok, and unleash the the Carnivacs of Apocalyps! Options

I mean, seriously...

Is it THAT hard to program a port to PC? Really? And their reason is, get this... "because it’s outside the area of expertise".

Yes, the game using the same engine as WFC is outside the expertise for the same programmers who made WFC, suuuure.

Now I could go on about how we should hire Death's Head to force them to release the game to PC, but how about realistically? What could we do?

Would sending payment WELL in advance to pre-order the game for PC convince them? (IE, now?) 'Cause I would... and I bet many others would.

It sounds like there was a lot of problems with the PC version of WFC. Maybe that is what led to their decision not make a PC version of FOC.

I am surprised that they can't figure it out. I don't play PC games, but was WFC that bad on a PC?

I never really played the multi-player mode, so I can't comment on that. The single player mode was good enough for my taste, though a little clumsy. I never encountered any game-breaking bugs or anything.

Honestly... I don't think it was as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. Most of what I hear seems to be in the realm of left out features, which, if they had more resources, they could probably fix for the sequel. But if they really don't, then I can understand why they'd just go for a console version.

Maybe they'll do a Wii version and I can play that. Anyone tried out Cybertron Adventures? How did that do?

It's hard for me to understand why they didn't have resources to fix or develop the PC version given that they had SALES of the PC version to go off of. DLC should have paid for itself if they'd released it in a timely fashion. I guess it's easier to just take whatever profits you can get and call it a day rather than recycle them into improving the product.

The Wii version was a completely different game. I understand it was ok for what it was.

Let's not forget that this is Activision we are dealing with. Massive profits or death, there is no middle ground.
