it is delayed talk- was the same thing in machine shops a few months ago- people were telling me they're so busy doing 60+hrs a week; now they got skelton staff working and taking their tools home at night. wait a few more months, then we'll really see the s**t hit the fan as all the fallout from the collapse in the autumn coalesces. start saving your pennys

Dragon Age: Origins delay thread over at BioWare has gotten over 25k views... PC gamers are not happy about this.

http://dragonage.bioware.com/forums/...6477&forum=135

Just another case of the PC getting treated like the red headed step child compared to consoles.

even if they had the $100 AUD to go out and buy a expensive PC game, they will just pirate it - and spend the cash else were even though they will deny this action

point is - pirates are just losers that steal games/music/movies - make up lame excuses / arguments get others believe their lame false arguments and join their crusade or w/e funny thing is, allot of idiots actually believe what pirates say and join them :S

and they just end up hurting people / companys and thats why piracy is illegal not because they don't make money - but your taking money away from companys / their employees / get people fired
Guess what, I don't care.
Everyone a noob complains about piracy, someone pirates a game as a direct result.

I'm not happy about it either.

BioWare 5 years ago: Announces new PC Exclusive game Dragon Age: origins

After that: Well... it's gonna be on consoles as well, but we'll only start on those after we've finished the PC version and give the PC our full attention

Now: Well... we're going to push back the PC release so it can coincide with the console releases.


Yea so much for PC Exclusive. I just hope it isn't dumbed down TOO much and has at least some advanced graphical options that put it ahead of the consoles. Next thing you know, they're going to scrap the mod kit that is supposed to come with the PC version.

Sigh.

The only good PC exclusives nowadays are coming from Eastern Europe. (see S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Witcher (which was made for the PC first and foremost and is only now in the process of being ported to the 360)

They probably mean like Pay to Play services. Like Xbox Live and games like COD4,5 and Halo. Then games like WoW. PSN I heard is getting better and becoming more advanced in features.
