They'll be releasing ME3 at the end of the year. The last 7 chapters of ME3 will be released in single chapters, first chapter of ME3 will be 49.99$ out by the end of December, and each month they will be releasing each chapter as DLC for 34.99$

I wasn't even trying to be funny, it's just how I feel, seeing gaming turn out like this.
Hell, I was banned from gametrailers for calling Microsoft faggots, and how I wish they never got into the console market.

actually from a business point, microsoft did everything right with their entry into the console market.
besides, its the console gamers and their tolerance of the shit theyre being asked to pay money for, that i find is the real problem...

What they did wrong was that they chose to abandon PC gaming in favor of their console instead of letting them co-exist and advertise them equally.
They've lost countless millions of dollars letting the "unknown" Valve become the #1 DD service provider.
Given how well known the Microsoft brand is and their unlimited resources if they had put serious effort in PC DD, nowadays they would have both the most successful "HD" console of this gen in the west AND the leadership in DD PC sales.
This was their biggest mistake this gen, bigger than the Vista fiasco.
With Vista's failure they didn't lose nearly as much as marketshare (they lost less than 5%) as they lost by abandoning their efforts in PC gaming.
It was like burning free money.

eh.. sure we might 'wish' we were getting more attention, but that doesnt change the fact that diving in to the console market was WAY smarter than chosing to focus on pc gaming instead.
sure you could argue that they could have done both, but i guess they didnt see the need... at the moment, gaming is definately console orientated, and thats where they, wisely, chose to focus all their energy.

In my opinion, the problem only lies with MONEY.
When we played games during the early era games weren't pop culture, they weren't popular, and amongst all you most likely needed an imagination of some sort to play it.
Now gaming is finally "pretty" so the moronic sheep finally enjoy it because it's "pretty". Gaming is dying becuase it became popular.
Now, don't get me wrong, I can understand someone not liking a D&D Dice roll RPG. But I just can't understand why any of these people enjoy any of these games. 5 hour single player games today.
And I don't even know what's going on the east market either. JRPGs used to be GOOD back in the "day", came up with new concepts, and ideas, now their terrible. FF13 was garbage, fucking terrible game.
Oh, I know, game developers who had new ideas got pushed aside to do paper work. aka Yu Suzuki.

microsoft still HAS the pc market for OS's, which IS what their market is.
microsoft never really was (as in it never actually gave a shit about) the pc gaming market - yeah they had a game division and their games for windows failbrand, but they never abandoned the pc gaming market because, in my opinion, they were never here. they had a token presence, nothing more - they never pushed pc gaming.
the console was their first solid attempt at getting into gaming, and theyve made a huge success of it.
and in your words 'people were already switching to consoles'... well yeah.. thats why it made perfectly logical sense to focus in that direction.
ultimately, what im saying is why bother with dollars and cents when you could go for the big money? the amount of money they potentially lost in pc gaming is drops of water in the river theyre making from consoles.

Lost money is lost money.
And they are hardly dollars and cents.
There are about 40M 360 customers in total (actually less, that's just the amount of 360s that have been sold but I'd say that at least 1/5 of them has RRoD' and doesn't work anymore), and Valve has 25M ACTIVE customers (keyword is ACTIVE). Not bad at all.
Valve has spent almost nothing in marketing Steam (no TV ads, no website ads "install Steam!"), and their R&D costs for the Steam platform must be like 1/100 the R&D cost of the 360. Not to mention the R&D and marketing costs of Kinect, which is another huge risk MS is taking.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

40ishm exclusively 360 customers -established
25ish m STEAM USERS - how many of those would microsoft have seen? this doesnt take into account users who are only users because they grabbed free games, or are only users because they bought one game in a SHOP that needed steam..... take me for example.. im an 'active' valve customer... never bought a game off steam - you can be sure there are millions like me that never bought a game through steam (or at most bought ONE - most likely a valve game anyway, which is a customer microsoft would never have seen)
i dont quite see your argument here... that is to say i dont see your angle. you arent arguing that valves business would be interchangeable with microsofts (as in that 25m 'active' customers would have become microsofts') - so what are you saying? exactly how many millions of dollars per year are you saying microsoft would have made if they focused on doing... what... competing against steam as a digital delivery system?
do you think theyd be making as much as they do through all the income they make through the xbox? half? a quarter? a tenth?
im not saying theyd make 'nothing'... im just saying that in relation to what theyre earning in the console market, what they could have earned in the pc market wouldnt have been anywhere near as impressive.
