The reality of today is grim for PC players. There is not so many developers who can tell a truth about whats going on. I like how Matt Benson from ubisoft said about new Ghost Recon -
“Ubisoft is straight as ever. The other day in an open publisher said it plans to earn as much money on Ghost Recon. Sorry, sorry, but true fans of the series will have to move a bit to make room for new arrivals”.
after that Matt offcourse said - “The cost of game development has grown. The situation requires us to go out and find a balance between creative thinking and commerce” - u need standart talking about balance if u dont want to fear off core fans.
But that how i see a balance for today:
- main platform is console
- minimum pc support
- no clanwars support (competetive gameplay not bring any money)
- no modders support ( for same reason)
- all post-release activity are focused on DLC
