Fans storm online petition for Alan Wake PC |
Ó
A lot of people were surprised when Microsoft announced a couple of weeks back that they have decided to "indefinitely" shelf the PC version for Alan Wake. If you thought avid fans are just going to take this sitting down, you're wrong. They have now gone online, armed with their pitchforks signatures to petition Microsoft to reconsider their decision.Led by the fansite Alan-Wake.de, the online petition was basically challenging why MS decided to drop the PC version and prioritize the Xbox 360 version when in fact the Xbox 360 version was the one that was based on the PC version, which fully utilized DirectX 10.
They therefore ask the following of MS:
- ... for a reason why Microsoft abruptly cancelled the work on a PC version of Alan Wake.
- ...you to release a statement to express your point of view on the situation.
- ...you to strongly consider a PC version of Alan Wake and releasing it simultaneously or with just a very little time gap in between.
You can add in your signature to the campaign by clicking on the source link below. As of this writing, there are a total of 2,890 signatures. Good luck, Alan Wake PC fans!

ALAN WAKE SHOULD NOT COME TO THE PC. if it does come all the exclusives for 360 will go to pc and the fanboys will moan about how exclusives will go 2 pc and then there will be no reasonto buy 360.they should have their own TRUE exclusive games like crysis or sommethin.btw where can i give my signature to go against this petition
Crysis 2 is coming to the PC Xbox 360 and PS3 though I doubt the console versions will look as great as the PC version on a 2000 dollar PC or something like that. Probably console version would be equal to about a 1200 dollar computer.
It's pointless to make it on pc. Just really low sales and 90% download it from piratebay.
I was about to sign it, until it tried to say that the PC version of Halo was a bad port. Halo PC is the DEFINITIVE version of Halo. I don't see the Xbox version donning online multiplayer or custom maps.
I don't think it should go to PC, mainly because PC users will just pirate it anyways. PC players pay up the bum to keep their rigs at the highest specs, why not take that money and buy a 360 so you can play the games? Not only that, but you can connect your 360 to your PC anyways and have all your media on your TV.
I can't believe Microsoft is actually listening to the people who say all 360 exclusives are on pc and actually reacting by cancelling pc versions, it sucks for all pc gamers.
Depending on the PC you own, It is a superior console. Plus, why spend $300+ on a 360 for only a few good exclusive games, when the games will eventually come out for the PC anyway. I personally only got a 360 because I found a 60 gig for $120 with 2 controllers and 3 games. I would never have payed full price for it. The 360 is a powerful console, but still limited on what it can do. PC's are ever evolving in software and hardware, so its possible to make a game that is not possible on any console today. PC players are probably felling like Microsoft just said they dont care if AW is poorer quality as long as it boosted 360 sales as an exclusive. I wonder if the devs agreed to this or if corporate is forcing it on them?
just buy a 360 so you can play the game..
People who signed this are mostly ps3 fanboys. If they can't get it on the ps3, they want it on PC as an excuse against 360 exclusivity. When this get released for PC and 360 we'll probably see a lot of "Who cares about the 360, I'll download it for the PC." or something like that.
Just because some people dont want to spend x-amount of money of something that has a very high chance of breaking, doesn't make them a fanboy of any kind.
It simply means that those people aren't mugs.
You can burn in hell for all I care - you can KEEP your pos DLC, we just want to play on a console that isn't meant for people who don't deserve to live (you)
Are superior to consoles in almost every way but I'm guessing MS is doing this to try and give people more incentive to buy 360s...? (I imagine they win either way since PC most of the time = Windows = MS = $ regardless). I really don't care on the matter, unless the PC version would be able to outclass the console version but that'd probably require them to have started on PC first then dumb it down for 360
