Dear DICE,

You fucking miserable cunts.

You shit on the PC community with 2142's terrible execution, you walk away from your steaming pile to make Bad Company a console exclusive, you blatantly lie about 1943 coming out for both PC and Console and only when you seemingly accidentally release Bad Company 2 on PC to glowing reviews of battlefield's former glory do you realize where you core market fucking started.

If you truly, honestly, sincerely want to focus on making an excellent PC experience.. then you'll give us our nostalgia muffin in the form of 1943 which we've been clamoring for, for over a goddamn year, AND give us an excellent Battlefield 3 experience as well.

What kind of fucking studio do you think you people are if you can't finish up a game which is already done and should've been more than halfway ported by now; as well as put real effort into the next project?

Sincerely,
the poor fuck who purchased all of the early Battlefield games on PC and all the goddamn expansion packs only to be fucked in the ass by a studio that doesn't know its market.

Well I am glad I chose not to wait for the PC version and got it on the XBox.
I knew they wouldn't release it on the PC because it would take sales away from Bad Company and Medal of Honour and there would never be a good time to release it.
I would have got it on the PC as well after playing it on the XBox but the fact is they can't afford to release a budget title that will take sales away from full price ones.

Wow! The balls on these people. They sound like Sony with their crazy lies. Dice does nothing to support their games, like Bad Company 2, and is plagued with a number of multiplayer issues with either Dice's incompetence or just writing off the game.

I'm sick of these companies treating us like brain dead zombies.

"We're confident this will lead to an even better experience in Battlefield 3, not only on PC, but on all platforms."

The mere fact he said 'not only on PC, but on all platforms' brought my expectations of what a better experience that could mean for PC...

...which is the better platform.. therefore one could be lead to conclude that it will only be as good as console.

Saw this coming a loooooooong time ago. It's really no surprise, there's BC2, BF online, Hereoes online and they are still supporting older BF's. PC is a small market and it's the least important and EA hasn't shown very good in terms of profits.[/i]
