Why PCDestroyer is a mental midget LONGGGGGG | |

In Response To: Re: Geez... why the negative spin? (PCDestroyer) : I'm not saying some of your views aren't correct... but it would be better
Whether it is well received or not has nothing to do with the argument put forth. : I would say the same if this post had come from a diehard PC gamer... or
Then you would be engaging not in the argument but the person behind the argument, which is just an ad hominem fallacy. : I tend to believe that Microsoft is a company that is only out to make a
And this is different from what large company? : Bungie has supported it's community of gamers for many many many years
Oh really, so they were kind of like ummm Jesus Christ or perhaps Mother Theresa. Making games for the love of it -- screw food, shelter, and a nice ride. You really need to wake up. I mean, it is and it
NO, that's not a real question because Halo isn't crap. It's the exact opposite. : But Microsoft does things like intentionally hold back things that are
: This is the position I hold on Mac/PC Halo... because the Mac/PC version will
: It is a marketing strategy. So is that like a mathematical proof? Let's rephrase your argument and cut out the rhetoric to see what you are saying. Unstated Premise:
Now what I want to know is, what is your evidence for the first premise? From whose a$$ did you pull this premise? Where are your facts? And DON'T RESTATE YOUR CONCLUSION OR PREMISE IN ANOTHER FORM AS EVIDENCE. Give us some insider information, not your hackneyed interpretation of what's going on. : And if Bungie people say "That's not true, because we don't have Halo
And maybe if someone from the Bungie team does say that, it means what they say. Perhaps it doesn't, but what you should be telling us is where you get your psychic powers to know this. : I would not have bought an XBox if Halo were out for the Mac/PC. I own other
Ah, now it's starting to make sense from a psychological perspective. You are extrapolating from your situation to the market. You believe that since you, PCDestroyer, were not that interested in the console but very interested in the game and purchased the console (or recieved it as a gift), that hell, that must be the consumer profile of the Xbox consumer. This is just not the case. The consumer profile of an Xbox purchaser is similar to the profile of a PS2 consumer or a Nintendo consumer, although the mean age of the PS2 and Xbox consumer will be a little older than the Nintendo one. Nonetheless, you are in the minority as a consumer-type. If MS' foray into the console market was based on the potential -- I-don't-have-much-interest-in-consoles-but-I-love-halo/Bungie-so-I'll-get-Xbox-just-to-play-halo-- customer, then MS' Xbox endeavor would over by now. This may fit the profile of a lot of people on this board, but it's not where MS' bread is buttered WRT Xbox. : However, with a Mac/PC version... I'd be online playing it all the time...
Now we are at the heart of the matter -- PCDestroyer's personal disappointment. It all makes sense now. : That's just the way it is... and it will always be so until Gates dies or
Yes, yes, all of this has absolutely nothing to do with business. : They don't throw creampies at rich people with morals... Too bad the Pope isn't availabe to take over Microsoft. You'd be one happy camper then. The Pope...the Catholic church... morals... hmmmm... nevermind. : PCD : PS-
So let's see. It's now April, and you're predicting it will be out in August, is it? So that's about 1 in 8 (months). Those aren't bad odds. Add to that the fact that if occurs in July or September, you'll probably claim that's close enough to your prediction to claim you were right, so that bumps your odds up to 3/8 -- not bad at all. Problem is, even if it does happen then, it won't prove your point, as the delay could be easily caused by any number of alternative factors creating a spurious connection between your prediction and the event of PC/Mac release. |
