Cheers for the responses. There are games which are cross platform, both console and PC sharing the same game space (with the balance offset by slight aiming assistance given to the gamepad wielders). I get what McJ is saying, and yes, there are more console gamers out there compare to PC games. That's because consoles are easy, cheaper and accessible and you know what? I fully understand that, and accept it. I'm just curious as to why they didn't go down the cross platform route as it's technically possibly now. Hence the 'bitching parade' as you so nicely put it. I'm not even going to furnish 'Hey Im Swat' with a response, as the tone of his post is one of the reasons why I prefer PC over console FPS. Far more civilised without all the pre-teen hormones :P
