[OB1]

Woah...

Well, I've said what I will about this and stand by that... I'll only add that as of yet OB1 hasn't shown any real evidence that proves beyond reasonable doubt that such a small number of people actually do this. Also, if the markets are so seperate, why ARE all these games being made for both PC and all 3 consoles exactly? If they really were such different markets, would it not be assumed that they would ONLY release a game for one or the other, and ignore porting altogether? Sorry, but how do you KNOW most people aren't making decisions like "should I get a PC or a game system?" even though I get that question like ALL THE TIME from people who don't know any better, the sorts of people who hire other people to clean spyware off their old machines.

I guess what I'm saying is a degree in marketing seems utterly meaningless. What exactly did they teach you there aside from basic economics?

Who said anything about getting a degree in marketing? I've taken some marketing and business classes, yes, but I make my observations from the market itself and know a thing or two from my older brother Will who's in charge of a marketing firm (no that does not mean advertisements).

Your questions show that you still haven't grasped what it is that I said. Why port games to the PC if it's not in the same market as home consoles? Um, does that really make sense to you? That's like asking why bother releasing Splinter Cell for the DS? If anything, being in separate markets is more reason to port.

And as convincing as your whole "well I know some people who would rather get a PC instead of an XBOX! Right here, even!"" point is, the fact that you still don't even understand what I'm talking about when I refer to different markets shows that I should just give up on you right now. I've explained this in sufficient detail already and will not continue trying to explain this to you. So continue being ignorant about this subject.
