Doodphace, I just did a simple google search and found data that shows pc gaming revenue has been increasing for several years. Gaming as a whole is outpacing movies. Straight face.

I caved and bought a ps4 shortly after they opened up destiny pre orders. I figured I saved a bunch of money skipping the ps3/360 generation of consoles so why not splurge a little now.
Originally posted by Derros Well, I dont own a current gen console, so im reluctant to get it for a previous gen console, since Ive heard they arent compatible cross gen. Therefore, ive gotta wait for PC =(
All gen's are parity. So no difference between previous gen and next gen.
Furthermore, if you buy the digital version for xbox360 you can Upgrade free to XboxOne later. Same with PS3 and PS4.
Originally posted by DamonVile I wouldn't say I'm holding out but, If it comes out on PC I'll probably play it. If it doesn't I wont.
Same here. If it isn't on PC , I won't play it. I spend a fortune keeping my PC's up to date. There's no way I'm going to waste money duplicating the ability to play games by buying a console too, especially when they offer an inferior experience.
A few of my guild are playing this on PS4's but I won't be joining them. Actually the reviews I've been reading haven't been that good anyway. By the time it comes to PC it will probably be on offer on Steam at a knock down price so I may try it then.

Increasing compared to what?....compared to a time when most games were crackable and wernt "always online"? Compared to a time when WoW was the only million+ MMO? Did the PC game revenus ur looking at come from games like WoW, LoL, Steam?
Please put away your strawman. I have provided actual tangable reasoning from the developers themselves why consoles are favored to PCs by many developers today...all you have done is provide out of context diengenious heresay.
Also, everyone and their mother knows that gaming is out pacing movies...that literally has 0 to do with anything I said and is just more strawman.
Originally posted by Lazarus71 No I will not be holding out for a PC version seeing as I own it on the PS4. See I have this strange ability to play and enjoy games on different platforms and hold no strange allegiance to any specific one. As a gamer why would I deny myself any game based on platform lol.
Didn't go through all the post, but this one stands out as having the most sense in it....kudos Sir..I too will be buying the game for my PS4.
Doodphace, guess facts don't sway your opinion. You posted no facts that piracy is impacting gaming or driving games to consoles. I pointed out a quick search on google showed an increase in revenue. But whatever, you can believe whatever falacies you choose.

Originally posted by BreshaPlus I dont like that all populations are confined to what console you have.
Well getting Destiny for PC is just the same thing? you are confining yourself to just the PC Destiny population. Anyways I want the White PS4 so preordered it with Destiny bundle. Not a huge fan of the game; but hearing its going to have expansions and dlc for 10yr does sound interesting.Beta was a little meh; dont see why there is so much hype about game. So much tweet; guess Bungie is really trying ti promote this.
Yes,but Im willing to bet that PC would be one of the more popular versions.
I wouldn't bet on that. As crazy as it sounds form thouse who have been around PC gaming for years, the consols took over the FPS market years ago with Halo/COD. I think its safe to say that PS4/XBONE will have more players than the PC.
For sure, plug and play, derp nation.
Ya, im sure the gameplay in COD is terrible and requires no skill, and is somehow more dumbed down than PC FPSes of the past, such as unreal tournament, doom, etc......derp indeed
I was referring to the type of person(s) who won't or cant do a PC, but that works too;
Where the consoles are the most popular because of the absolute simplicity of the console itself just being able to be unboxed and plugged to a wall and TV.
Pretty sad that you have to base your self worth on being a PC only gamer. Like you are some kind of genius who knows how to plug in a PC.
Truthfully I respect console gamers a bit more, because I supect many of them are PC gamers also, they just don't go around snubbing others with their elitist PC bullcrap.
Oh and the people who say they can't play because of a controller. LOL!!! The same type of PC player who spends years learning how to play an MMO character, can't spend more than 5 mins getting used to playing with a controller. Like it is insanely difficult, when millions of console players seem to have no trouble whatsoever.
Man, PC guys are whiners. Plain and simple the most spoiled elitist group of babies in the gaming world ever!

Well said! If Destiny had launched on PC today and not on console, everyone here would be praising Bungie high into the sky and cheering!
Bunch of but hurt hypocrits. /shrug
I have both PC and consoles and enjoy myself on all platforms, without being so single narrow minded as so many here seem to be.
Same here. Out of principle I am not playing anything with fine aiming like a shooter on a gamepad. I made an exception for GTA V since the PC release was so far off but using the Sniper Rifle was some of the most agonizing stuff ever.
I am much less interested in Destiny but I will pick it up in a sale on PC.
Lugal, its awsome that you ignore my facts (i actually provded links, something you have yet to do), then make a hearsay out of context claim about increased revenu, something that was never disputed, and has nothing to do with the fact that developers are turning to always online DRMs and console focused games.
So tell me, why do you think developers are turning their focus to consoles and always online systems? You seem to think developers like Crytek are lieing when they say that its due to piracy....please fill me in on what you think is going on, id love to hear it.

Y0u need to re-read what what the guy from crytek said. He said piracy was a shame, says nothing about it hurting profits. So your facts you mention do not support your claims. Also, the article does not say as a fact the piracy is impacting anything directly, as it is speculation. The related article had the analyst mentioned the issue could be system requirements.
Me providing links is not required when you can do the same simple google search like i did and mentioned previous. The point about profits increasing year after year just proves how piracy is a non issue, it is the equal to the boogey man in the closet. When companies are making more profits than before, just shows how little piracy is an issue.

I swore I would never buy another console to pc port ever again after that.

It was almost enough to make me break down and get a PS4.
Had it been anything other than a shooter, I probably would have.
If it comes to the PC I will probably check it out once it's under $40.

I've already heard people say Firefall is way better than this game.
Not only have I already heard people say the opposite, I have also heard people say that Firefall is absolutly terrible.
What's the point of your post?
