You obviously haven't read many GAF threads about late ports.

It means Steam is getting a shitload of yet to be announced ports
Really? Did you miss the Dragons Dogma thread? The Dark Souls thread? Definitive versions are hype.
You must've missed the FF7 thread. :x
All those games are or were supposed to come to PC at some point. You can be sure that ~8 out of 10 games talked about here will get a port.

Bad Rats Show.
It is not just because of the ports. It is also because the tendency of the industry is to release everything on PC.
It's good to not have games stranded on the Vita.
Plenty of people, like myself, don't own a PS3/4. Or even a PS1/2 anymore. I loved FFX. I want to play it badly.

It means hopefully you're not so attached to Vita keeping it's exlusives that it makes you physically ill if they go to Steam, like some people.
I'll only care if Dual Audio can be added to the Steam version.
Until then, the PS4 version is ace for me :3
But what about seeing things like Half Life 3 on that list? I feel like this has happened before.
Yep, pretty much. And I say this as a Vita owner. That system isn't going to last forever and it would suck to have gems like Danganronpa forever stuck on it. This is true for any console, really. Once a game comes to PC, you generally don't have to worry about platform obsolescence or backwards compatibility. It's why I'll always gladly double dip or even hold out for the PC version if it's known to exist ahead of time.
FFXIII had dual audio, if that's anything to go by.
Cry more? People would've bought a PSP2 if the system wasn't dead as shit and these were titles they absolutely wanted then and there and didn't mind buying them on a portable. Obviously, people didn't want to buy a portable for them. Hence, the "YAY I DON'T HAVE TO BUY A PSP2!" comments. They can get the thing for far cheaper than the PSP2 + memory card and other bullshit that said system has (game saves are attached to 3GIG+ game files because Sony is paranoid as shit) and enjoy the possibility of modding the game for extra longevity, something that couldn't be done on the handheld.
In other news, I'm still pissed it's taking Square so long to announce FFXII:HD. They just need to announce it already.

This is the most important thing for me. Currently I play all the major releases on PS4 (even though I have a more than capable PC) but it's nice to know that a few years from now when I decide to replay some of these games the PC version will be available.
You have to think long term.
Let's say Danganronpa never made its way to Steam.
In 20 years, if someone really wanted to play those games, they'd have to buy a Vita (Although in 20 years there will probably be a Vita emulator) and all the baggage that comes with buying a 20 year old piece of hardware.
I know a lot of people only think about consoles for exclusives, but some of us think about the long term preservation of games and PC is clearly the best home for them.

No War of the Lions is biggest shame. SE will port every other mobile FF other than this.
You are proving my point. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Why is it wrong or insufferable by stating a fact? It is only a problem if you feel that your own choice of gaming Platform is inferior.
And why only PC gamers? You can go in every DF Thread that talks about the difference between Xbox and playstation Titles and these "Playstation looks better" or "Xbox has more stable Framerate" Posts take whole pages.
I think your missing the point. Imagine you have a friend. This friend is better at something then you're. This is an objective fact, he is better than you at this thing. He knows it and you know it. But he doesn't simply let that be the end of it. No, rather he needs to ensure that you are reminded that he is better at every change he is given, even when it's not even part of the discussion.
That's what I'm talking about. Stating the fact and doing what I mentioned above are two different things.
Uh... Firstly, calm down. Two. I already said how similar issues persist in the other fandom's. In fact this will be the third time I've reiterated this.

Who's "ill" over this? People are just tired of thread after tread popping up every time a console born game or remaster is rumored or confirmed for the pc and acting like it's the second coming to christ. Either that or begging for ports lol see the entire thread dedicated to getting Sega games on pc(which on any normal day you would be banned for port begging of any sort).
lmao
Dude, have you seen the countless PS4/XB1 remakes threads? It's crazy. Or how about the PS2 BC wishlist thread?

Check out threads about the TLOU and Uncharted Remasters or any halfway decent oldgen title. And yes, I know you'll come up with reasons why that is a totally different situation but it isn't really. Or what about backwards compatibility for X1 and PS4? People are getting mightily excited to be able to play way older games without having to dig up old systems (I mean someone made a new OT for friggin' Rogue Galaxy).
A dev already pointed out on the announcement thread that this is an alpha build.

This is hilarious. Anytime a game gets announced that isn't on PS4 people cry about it not being on there.

I'll be honest, for me, preservation is very low on the list for why I care about the PC release of many of these games.
My reasoning is more selfish.
I'm a fan of "X", which is a niche Japanese game (say Danganronpa for example). It releases on multiple platforms on which it'll do decent numbers (PS4/Vita/PC, all which have sizable Japanese fanbases). The sales ensure more sequels are made.
^ Anyone who has a problem with a larger fanbase buying these niche games resulting in more games isn't a fan of the series to begin with IMO.

You agreed to buy a game, and you still have your game. Now other people get to play the same game. What exactly is ruffling your feathers here?

It's weird seeing people who are either blind to things purposely or subconsciously
The same people who don't seem to have this issue when console remasters are announced, seemingly. But that's totally different of course because reasons.
And if you have a problem with the moderation policy around what constitutes port begging you should PM a mod instead of whining in here.

If they took things out that used to be there before and weren't glitches? Yes.
I didn't know this was such a sensitive subject. I just said I felt wrong about it. But now I'm a butt hurt fanboy that apparently needs to cry more.

Shadow of Rome remaster, please.
That is because there is objectively no reason to feel this way unless you're into platformwarrior listwars nonsense. Like really, there is otherwise no rational reason to feel this way.

Wasn't the last port of EDF serviceable?
