It's exactly what you described....so....lol?
Valve has admitted the system is severely flawed for a long time now, they are working on a system of self publishing, but we all know how long it takes for Valve to move along.
I don't get how that changes the fact that this thread is nothing but glorified port begging.
I would give it a few. Several SO threads go just like this and it takes ages for them to eventually be closed.

That's why if this was a mistake made by the paper its a huge one, people will just wait it out which means a loss sale for the Xbox one lolI was thinking of buying an xbox one next week, but now I guess that I won't be. Exclusive halo collection and sunset overdrive would have pushed me over the edge, but it is better to wait and see if sunset overdrive will be announced for pc at this point.
How do you mistakenly add "PC" to an advertisement?
Someone explain that to me
That's fair. I don't think any big exclusives they own will find there way to PC
What's wrong with xbox one?
This game get shat on in almost every thread. All of a sudden, PC makes the game great and wanted.
That's really not true. Pop into the DC server thread, people are calling for Evo to be shut down, there are petitions, etc.
Same with PSN issue threads, they are often full of people complaining pretty loudly about the service and what they are paying for.

Or I'll just keep posting in it.
You don't. But you can mistakenly upload the wrong version of the ad. The one that would've been uploaded once both versions are out.How do you mistakenly add "PC" to an advertisement?

Long illustrious history based on two occurrences? I suppose it could happen again but I wouldn't describe those two instances as a definite on every 3rd party exclusive since even those have nebulous circumstances around them.[Edit] Goddammit: edit for beat.
But yeah, Xbone exclusives have had a long and illustrious history of denying that they're getting a PC version, and then getting a PC version. Assume Sunset Overdrive is getting a PC port in the new year.
Which I don't really see anything wrong with. It's natural to want justification for buying a console for what it has to offer exclusively.Not at all. People are upset that a game may come to a platform other than their own. That's being a console warrior.
If crying about a thread is what you'd like to do then by all means.
Here's the short of it.
Port begging is extremely annoying when, say, a thread is posted about a new gameplay demo for <exclusive game Z> or what-have-you, and replies to said thread are littered with people whining that the game isn't coming to their platform of choice instead of talking about the thread topic.
This thread is about an ad saying Sunset overdrive is coming to PC. Mistaken or not, considering recent history with Xbox One games, having a discussion about the possibility of a PC release, is fine. Other speculation is basically harmless.
Carry on. Thread still can be closed, of course, if people show they don't know how to carry themselves.

Because, unlike XO, you can play it in 1080p 60fps+ on PC. Also games age better on PC, meaning in 4 years time, when 4K is standard, you wont be stuck playing it at 900p.
Like Halo: Spartan assault?
This is ridiculous.

Sweet, now show me what the integrated TV signal looks like in that $100 linux receiver. Oh, wait...
It reminds me of the "Mass Effect/Bioshock also went multiplat" debate that has been going on for years. Yet, very few did the research in how they actually became/were multiplatform.Long illustrious history based on two occurrences? I suppose it could happen again but I wouldn't describe those two instances as a definite on every 3rd party exclusive since even those nebulous circumstances around them.
i have a perhaps unrelated question but...
why was it important to Insomniac to keep rights to the IP, if they would never release the game on other systems anyways?

So it's allowed because of the ad itself and not because two XB1 games went to PC, right? I can understand the former, but the latter is going to be a headache if that's an allowance to port beg.
I don't think it's a matter of Port begging, it's people excited that they won't have to spend $400 to play a particular game at a lower resolution. With that said, the track history with these type of 'business strategies and language' from Microsoft, that I can see people now waiting (even if it never does comes to PC) only because of similar events in the past.

The only X1 exclusive I'd really want to get a PC port is the new Phantom Dust, and that's mostly for preservation. If the game flops like the original, the community will at least be able to keep their own servers going pretty easily.
Merchandising? If it's not a success, they have the option to continue the IP elsewhere? Bigger share of the revenue pie? Because they like to own things?
You don't think I know this? I've been on PC since 94 with a Gateway my parents bought, cow spotted box and all. It's irrelevant what their origins are. What does that have to do with anything? The current state of the market, industry, sales, is what matters.I dispute that "all" heavily. Let's go through your list, shall we?
- GTA: a franchise which started on PC, and is now a Moloch infinitely consuming production values. I'll give you this one, in its current form.
- AC: you can have this one as well!
- CoD: originally already a successful PC franchise, and its core draw does not require massive budgets.
- Battlefield: same as above.
- Borderlands: it's basically a loot game, a genre which thrives on PC.
- Bioshock: a worse version of System Shock 2, which was a PC game.
- Mass Effect: these don't sell in numbers that would make me think the require the extended console base.
- Dragon Age: the first one of these was in development as a PC exclusive for the longest time. After the second one, built from the ground up as a multiplatform title, I think most agree that going back to the "shell" which was the first game would be better.
- Souls games: DS2 probably sold almost as well on PC as it did on PS3, and that's with a late port and 2 console versions available.
Eh, really? I don't see this being the kind of game that makes big money on merchandise. I guess you would do it, in the off chance it did blow up and become the next big thing? So if it does, you have the rights to it? Could just be something that is a mart decision regardless.
Has Insomniac put out an official statement ? I saw jstevenson's post, and some evidence that it wasn't coming to PC , but why don't they just clear it up?
Perhaps just re-using marketing assets. Someone was mistaken and used the "Only on Xbox and PC" logo for this.
Hyperbole. Very few people will just wait it out. The merits of owning an XB1 don't hinge on one game. The "system" is a culmination of games and features and offers a different experience than the PC, regardless of the games that may or may not end up on the PC.
As stated many times in this thread, Microsoft wants to do more for PC gaming and a delayed release for the PC helps Microsoft's other platform and helps the developer. It's a "win-win".
Think they posted something on twitter. Wouldn't really matter if they did though going by Xbox exclusive history.
If Microsoft were to port it anywhere the Xbox 360 would make the most sense.
Sunset one has all caps.
So no copy pasterino.
While not "BIG" there are other MS owned IP games on steam and the list keeps on growing, they have no issue putting games out on it.
