FFXIII pc came out before refund was introduced.

Yeah but obviously it had a significant dropoff between XIII and XIII-2. I bought it in the hopes more Square games would come to PC, but have no interest in buying them if they're all as terrible as XIII's port was.
Type-0 also being a bad port so far doesn't surprise me.

So you assumed this was going to stop being a cringeworthy thing to read by adding a pair of signs at the end?

Let's see how many owner they'll get from Type-0. I for one not planning to refund the game.
People are also giving ridiculous reviews like "it's a bad port, just get the console version instead". I mean, it's exactly like the console version, 1080p/30fps. In fact, there are some improvements and it's actually cheaper.

It seems that Atlus Japan operates only with the Japanese market in mind. I'm guessing they're a pretty small team that is very conservative in dedicating resources. They don't seem to do much outsourcing either (outside the fighting games).
And MOBA and MMORPGs and RTS i presume....unless those PC master race also looked down on these pc players for being 'casual'.

People wanted a reason to get a console- I can't think of a better reason than one of the most promising JRPGs in recent times.
there's no /S because some self-proclaimed 'master race' i knew said that MOBA players are 'casuals' as well....take that if you will.
Apparently, 'master race' are very specific about what is 'master race' even if the person primary game on PC.....
I already own a console to play the game, but I would assuredly like a better experience.
Either way it's just another way to cement that this game is unfortunately not coming to PC unless you can develop an Improbability Engine.
A shame, but I never expected the game to come to PC.
Dude stop with the "master race" BS, no one will take you seriously if you continue to use it.

Great data! Makes 500k for Persona 5 seem pretty plausible actually.
Didn't know Valkyria and FF13 sold that much, but I find it funny how much FF7 and FF8 sold on Steam. That's like what, $10m to Square from 15-17 year old games?

Sakura Spirit isn't actually Japanese.

This and Bloodborne and can now be the only reasons to own a PS4.
But even Persona 5 is on the PS3 as well, so really, the only reason to own a PS4 is Bloodborne.
B-but they're losing ez money!1!
Yes, I get it. It's true that P5 on PC would make easy fucktons of money especially from the Asia market. But reading the notion that every game in existence should be on PC because the money is there doesn't make it less grating.

True and I thought about that, but PS4 is only place you can play both.
And I was being sarcastic.
Same thing with Long Live the Queen, made by Hanako Games. However, they are
Easy Breezy and
Sakura Spirit is helping the Visual Novel thirst on Steam, that Sekai Project is starting to satisfy with actual Japanese VNs like Higurashi and Grisaia.

The PS3 is already heading into retirement for most people anyway.

Thats what people would have said about Tales of ever being on PC. Guess what happens on October

Because of Namco Bandai for Tales...
But Atlus is not Namco Bandai.....
Better not let your hopes up or your disappointment will be even greater..
that says....if E3 2015 had proves anything, it's that anything is possible...
so yay for you?

3 years ago, people would have used Capcom as an exemple and claim "because of Capcom, but Namco Bandai isnt Capcom".
When you see that even NIS or IF are going on Steam, you can bet it wont take that long for Atlus (especially under SEGA) to follow.
Then again, that kind of decision would likely depend on Atlus Japan, not Atlus USA.

Namco are in for the fans, but mostly for the money (since Naruto Storm 3? I think)... (hopefully they are doing better in that department).
Atlus is something else. Atlus' way of developing its games changed the way SEGA was seeing their pipelines of development. Despite being the owner, SEGA are taking cues on how to "quality" control their projects based on Atlus' work so far.

I think Infinite Improbability is the sequal to Infinite Undiscovery.
As I've said before, despite being the "owner", SEGA gave them their independence regarding how they develop and publish games when they acquired them. So the "especially under SEGA" doesn't hold much value in this scenario, especially with Atlus' internal studios. It's Atlus' call in the end. Unless they feel the need to port to PC, so be it. But don't go as far as hoping them porting it to PC until an official announcement, because that's what it sounds like... port-begging.
p.s. I don't get why does it feel like it is more acceptable to port-beg console games to PC than a 3rd party exclusive on set console to another one?

They are not in an as good financial position as Namco is (for now), especially IF. I don't know much about NIS.

Why would this come out on the PC in the first place?
I thought the Persona series was strictly consoles and habdhelds? Why would they shift their tune now?

because PC gamers and their 'everything is better on PC' reasoning i supposed.....
still remember the complaining and portbegging when Bloodborne was announced?
I'm sure someone will post on gaf in the future that Nintendo should also port the next Zelda to PC too because 'the Zelda PC port will help bring in more revenue to nintendo' or some similar reason...

The chances were slim to none in the first place but people are out in force now that theres a statement of sorts. PC gamers are seeing alot more japanese devs port their games to pc, some of which are notoriously niche so i guess they assumed atlus wouldnt cross it out when Persona is more popluar than stuff by IF.

You forgot the "/s". Or are we now accusing other people ?
I mean, are you insinuating mods are biased or something ? Because same rules apply to everyone. Port begging leads to ban, when it derails a thread. If your assumption is port begging only come from one way, this is blatantly wrong. Especially if you claim its acceptable for some people and not others.
Now, what I'm discussing right now isnt how likely this game or another is likely to come to which platform, but to discuss that, as opposed to some people claims, a 3rd party series isnt tied forever to one platform.
