I was looking for a place to rant. And this seems as good a place as any. If anyone agrees, or disagrees. Please reply and tell me how you feel. NO CONSOLE WARS.
I understand their strong desire to want to focus it on what will most likely be a more casual gaming audience. With such, a possible greater profit margin and more publicity.
But Ubisoft has always brought out titles to PC, especially Tom Clancy. I mean, Splinter Cell was born on the PC, how can you forget?!
However, using the excuse that it's harder to code for the different variants of PC is ridiculous. Not to demean ANYONE on the Ubisoft team heading this project. But that's insane, you have to do this. You adopted the dog, now you have to feed it. It's just cruel to do this. With such a strong support group for a move to the PC, how can you ignore our cries?
We don't- or well... I don't- mean to come off as greedy and demanding, but it's not just for us. Ubisoft is one of the greatest development studios in the game. And it be such a huge mistake to not bring this title to PC. It's an amazing concept, and looks as though it's been executed with perfection. There are PC gamers, willing to kill for a game like this. Myself, I've waited so long for something like this. Now it's coming and I won't even be able to jump in on this experience because I don't want to switch to console gaming?
'World of Tanks' for example has over 40 million register players. With Xbox LIVE topping in the 40 millions. Now that's not Gold multiplayer users, that's LIVE users. I have a LIVE silver account. What can I do? Message friends, not even play online. Now with, 40 million players backing an indie game about tanks. Nothing special, nothing amazing, just tanks? Think of the Tom Clancy following on its own. It's huge! Combine that with the PC shooter community, and combine that with the MMO community (which until this point, has consisted solely of PC), then combine that with a certain breed of RPG fans, and you have a MASSIVE player-base. It's... It's insane to think you wouldn't want to cash in on this.
That's ludicrous! Alas, as I said before, not to seem greedy or demanding. This is your studio, your forums, your title. Do as you please. I'm not your boss, nor your mother or father. Just please think on what I say. And do what makes you happy, life is too short to stay mad.

I have heard in several interviews and some rumors, that if there is a demand for it on PC. They'll work as hard as they can to bring it to it.
So. Let's show them that we want it. I've signed several petitions, if you want it, fight for it. This is one that I've seen spread around a decent bit. If you have more and wish to share, send 'em my way. I'll take a look, sign it, and pass it on.

In the mean time. I thank the developers for bringing a title like this into existence. And for your dedicated and continuous work in trying to appease the fans and put out games people enjoy. And to the forum moderators and community managers for keeping the forums a safe and kind place to be.
This is, MrFarenheit, signing off.
