Sep 6th 2009 12:24PM (Joystiq)you people obviously don't realize the barrier of entry to pc gaming. If I wanted to play this game I would have to spend at least $500 building a computer, not to mention all the knowledge I would need to gain in order to build it, and all the time spent building it. this adds up, I am obviously not a pc gamer, but I loved d2, and this looks amazing, but because of hardware restrictions (gma 950....) I can't enjoy d3. pc gaming doesn't make financial sense, needing to upgrade every year. I have a 360 that cost $400 on the front end, but will continue to have good and beautiful games over the course of it's 5+ year life span, compare this with pc gaming where you have to spend $100-$200 a year just to stay up to date.
I am not a really hardcore gamer, but if you play on pc you have to be really hardcore and have a LOT of disposable income, neither things I embody. pc games just aren't approachable to someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, at this point few games, console or pc, are at all affordable, and if they are they are minigame compilations. this is getting better with the likes of shadow complex and similar titles, but sometimes a guy has to resort to pirating because of the expenses involved.
