Ouch<\/a>, comments.<\/p>\n

So what would you do: release a game on PC, deal with multiple hardware but getting more money while being able to patch whenever you want for free or release a game on console, deal with one hardware, getting less money while paying to patch and release?<\/p>\n

The answer always has been release on PC and keep the IP<\/em> but as pointed out recently<\/a>, developers don\u2019t listen, don\u2019t want to listen whatever. How many people saying \u201cI don\u2019t have a console but I have a computer and I\u2019d gladly pay for this game please?\u201d. I\u2019m not the only one reading that all the time and it\u2019s not new. When I read that \u201cXBLA was THE place to be in 2008 because yay Braid\u201d I\u2019m like no, you wanted to think that but a lot was going on at that time and the iPhone was as much of a place to be as Steam and the PC were. Jon Blow himself wasn\u2019t hiding the problems with XBLA so there\u2019s no excuse, only choices.<\/p>\n

But developers don\u2019t give a fuck. Releasing a game on console is like the supreme achievement. Releasing a game that people love is, the platform\u2019s coolness is so irrelevant to me. Phil stated it:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s made to be played with a controller, on a couch, on a Saturday morning. To me, that matters; that\u2019s part of the medium.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So here\u2019s the thing, you don\u2019t tell me how to play your game. If I want to play it in my bed on a laptop this is none of your business and your game will not fucking change, dammit. Stop this nazi-signer you\u2019re-holding-it-wrong Jobs like bullshit.<\/p>\n

I would not be surprised if this corrupted saved game bug was easy to fix on PC if existing at all (the save system on consoles is a nightmare of complexity).<\/p>\n

So remember young game developer: Release on PC and keep the IP<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
