Red herring. Quote where I told you to enjoy or not enjoy something. Show me where I commanded you to do so. As I recall, the only thing I encouraged anyone to do was to enjoy whatever they wanted from the option available.
Yes, they ARE to cater to us ,, and if not fsck them
No, they're to cater to the demographics that provide the majority of their revenue, which is currently console gamers. It pains me as much as anybody, because the PC certainly has more capability than any console ever will and thus is capable of supporting far more featured games.
However, and the PC "hardcore" crowd would do well to own up to this so they can get over it and move on with their lives, the furious pace of hardware requirements and the comparatively high cost of PC gaming relative to consoles turns off many potential buyers.
Feel free to quote that recent story where EA said they see the PC as "becoming the largest gaming platform in the world" in the near future. Then check which platforms the majority of their releases are targeted for. I'll believe their PR spew when their actions, which will always speak louder than words, back what they're saying.
- i will buy a PC game where the devs are not lazy SoBs
It's not about laziness and you know it, but you need something to complain about, don't you? The game didn't make itself. It's not a half-assed job - you can tell that from the production values evident in the trailer alone, and the fact that it got picked up by a major publishing house.
It takes a hell of a lot more effort to make a game with any API than complain about the games that are being made by others on an internet forum. Who's lazy now?
you have no clue about business or serving customers whatsoever .. How do YOU make money?
:roll:
No, you have the common misunderstanding of what customer service is in business. You think customer service is to bend over backwards to every whim of the customer, no matter how esoteric or unusual because that's what YOU want done. Unfortunately for you, most people are far more reasonable or far less invested in tiny meaningless details, which is why these "consolized" games made by "lazy" developers continue to be profitable franchises.
A well run business attracts
exactly the kind of customers it wants to service, and actively discourages business from the kinds of customers they would prefer not to have.
Remember a few years back when Best Buy broke out their store demographics like "Barry", "Ray", and "Buzz"? I was a poor college student at the time working retail at a Best Buy during the summers to cover rent, and I can tell you, because I was told from internal management, that those demographic stores were VASTLY (up to 80% in many cases) more profitable than the "serve everyone" stores.
Best Buy is still doomed anyway, because their business model is broken and they are now relying on ignorance. Newegg can provide the same or better items for far less money because they don't have to shovel money into a multi-national brick and mortar furnace. It's only a matter of time before consumers become smart enough to notice and their profits go down the drain. But we digress.
As for me, I make money as a full time Physical Therapist in a small independent practice company with eight clinics in my state. I deal with 12 to 15 patients daily, one on one, as a service provider - and every patient care plan I design HAS to be entirely a custom job, by default. That's the nature of medical care. I also have to manage relationships between my clinic, my clinic staff, and our referral base consisting of dozens of physicians and worker's compensation case workers in our area. In college (before grad school) I worked in the retail industry. In high school I was employed nepotastically by my mother as she continued to build her own small business (also in a service industry - pet and home care, where people were trusting us to take care of their pets and be in their homes while they were away- often for weeks at a time) that was very successful for 15 years before she retired.
I've forgotten more about business and customer service than you've ever known. Please don't make childish statements in an attempt to hide that your arguments have no value. Sometimes people are smart enough to see past that bullshit.
Anything else you'd like to go over?
If you were a potential customer in a business I was running, you would be invited to receive your services elsewhere. I can tell by your "intarwebz disposition" that you, or at least the person you represent yourself as on here, would not be an asset as a customer but a liability.
Edit: And, as an afterthought, I apologize about being rather terse - but your unwillingness to discuss this on a logical basis and insistence on going "I want I want I want!" and banging your fists on the table has led me to respond in kind. Enjoy. I'll be out of town the next 4 days on - for once - pleasure, not business. I'll see you Monday.
