They've been selling misinformation. They were using stuff like NPD numbers, which only tracks retail sales.

IIRC, Ironclad recently said that 50% of Sins of a Solar Empire's sales were through digital distribution. NPD numbers will be WAY off in that case. Nobody will know the actual number of sales except Ironclad/Stardock.

So no, PC gaming isn't dying. Never has been.

VERY happy to hear them announce the PC version up front. Maybe that means it'll be closer to a simultaneous release. Really liked the PC version of ME 1.

Game companies can have my mouse when they pry it from my cold, dead hand.

My only issue with Steam is Steamworks. Dawn of War 2 requires you to be a Steam user to do anything. So you'll never see it on another distribution platform because of that.

If we should have learned anything from Microsoft, its that giving one person all the keys is a really bad idea. But other then that, its a good platform these days and its success is good for the industry.

TIE Fighter is one of the best games ever made. Its a shame they stopped making them like this.

Well, Will Wright is a part of EA now. EA's purpose isn't making great games: its making money.

Really shallow games that cater to the masses make a lot of money.

I agree though, the score was overly generous. Its like 7/10 is the default score, if the game actually works you get that.
