Remedy Community Highlights Petition to Save Alan Wake PC
Written by the fans at alan-wake.de, the petition asks for Alan Wake publisher Microsoft to release a statement on why it "abruptly cancelled" work on the PC version, and requests the company to "strongly" reconsider its position. Alan Wake was announced as a PC and Xbox 360 title in 2005, with the PC version's DirectX 10 support highly publicized at the time. Alan Wake PC has since been dropped from the launch plans by Microsoft, and Remedy says its fate is "up in the air."
The developer recently commented on the PC version's status last month, saying that it is now too late for it to be released alongside the Xbox 360 version, and reiterating that the ultimate fate of the PC title is in Microsoft's hands.
"Remedy has a deep heritage in PC gaming and would love to see a PC version available to its PC followers," said the company. "Ultimately however this decision lies with our publisher."
Shacknews has contacted Microsoft on the matter, but received no reply.

replyRight. You don't even have to say it, MS. The usual "we're intentionally trying to stomp PC gaming to the ground" will suffice once again. -_-

As a hardcore long time PC gamer I am pretty much over the whole PC is dying thing. I got over it after I realized that only 5-10% of the games being hyped are ever worth buying anyway. It has actually been like that from day one. When you look at the history of gaming on the PC really only about 25-35 games in all these years are worth even talking about. I actually enjoy a number of the games on the 360 even though I fought buying one untill last year. The bottom line is I don't buy any new games on the 360 unless it is downloadable independant games. I only buy what gamefly.com sells me for super cheap. I will spend the money on QUALITY PC games in a heartbeat when it is a REAL PC game and nothing else will do for ultimate gaming bliss. I just have been disappointed to many times by shody games to worry to much about crappy studios releasing crappier games, let the consolers have them.
