Anyone who was ever interested in this game has already played it, meaning no-one will buy this version. Meaning Microsoft will then point at the sales data and say “this is why we don’t do PC ports”

Friday, February 3, 2012 at 9:39 AMI’m going to disagree with you. People will buy it. A few weeks ago Microsoft released Age of Empires III on Steam (a 6 year old game?) and it was the number 1 game in the sales chart for its first weekend, beating new release games such as Skyrim and COD:MW3. It then stayed in the top 10 for another week.
While this may not seem significant, Steams sale charts are not based on copies sold but $ earned. Skyrim and COD are $59USD games while AoE3 was selling for $20USD. Seeing as Steam is the PC versions main platform I think it will sell rather well.
It also just takes a Steam sale to come along and for it to have a 50% discount for a new group of people to buy it.

Friday, February 3, 2012 at 9:13 AMI will buy this because I hate turning on my XBox just to play the one decent exclusive game it ever received. Now I can actually play the DLC, too.

Friday, February 3, 2012 at 9:44 AMNot a bad price and a.damn good game too, I understand that some of the good will between Remedy and PC gamers has been destroyed, but you will be depriving yourselves of a quality experience if you ignore it out of protest. It might be two years old,nut you wouldn’t know by playing it.

Friday, February 3, 2012 at 10:53 AMI loved this game, actually bought an Xbox to play it when they were on special at christmas. I thought I read the PC version was going to be $15 though… It seems a bit steep to charge 30 for a 2 year old game. Kinda feels like a punch in the face to PC gamers

Friday, February 3, 2012 at 2:22 PMI wonder what the AUS version will be priced like…..knowing our luck probably double.
But so been looking forward to this. Almost bought an XBOX for this alone.

Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 4:26 AMI played it on Xbox, and will be buying the PC version, most definitely. I’m a big Remedy fan and their games always shine brightest on PC. :)
Though I wanna know if the DLC will be included…
