PC is a Microsoft platform.

22

PC is an open platform, anyone can release software on it and Microsoft doesn’t see a penny of it.

23

The people still has to buy them the fucking computer.

24

Microsoft doesn’t sell computers, and sales of the OS don’t go to the XBox division. This is on top of the fact that most folks wont be buying a new Windows license for SFV.

25

What if I build a computer with parts I stole from a warehouse, and then installed Linux on it? Is my PC still a Microsoft platform?

26

or you could get a windows OS for free

27

I don’t ‘blame’ Microsoft for anything. There is nothing to blame them for, or be upset with them about with regards to Street Fighter 5.
I still plan on getting an XONE first and enjoying KI, especially knowing James Goddard and Buktooth were involved with its development.

28

Yeah until a MS certified or partner program you installed discovers your bootleg copy and fucks everything up because a solid reliable rip is pain in the ass to get a hold of.

29

It’s a pain in the ass sometimes but there are ways around it to make to work and right now there are a few realliable copies especially windows 7 and older you just have to look.

30

If anything, PC is more an Intel platform, its the only brand that is 99% redundant in all the PCs in the world. But yeah, PC is an open platform.
I think capcom had a good read of the current state of fighting games. They realised its slowly growing after having been in a slumber state for a veeeeeeery long time and want to capitalize on that by having a single large community that will be players, twitch and live viewers at events that they hope will become bigger and bigger. They want to make SF5 a prime esports game same as cs go or dota or lol.

I’m cool with a PC release. My 360 arcade stick works on a computer, unlike any of the new systems, and the cost of upgrading my PC is just a little lower than buying a new console. I dunno, as I get older I just have less space for extra systems. I finally have none and it’s great. I use my PC for work, too. Although having a gaming rig is WAY overpowered for the business I run, it’s still a tax write-off to upgrade and it’s nice to have in the house.

32

This.

And that $500,000 push from Sony is just one of the big breaks that many of us who have been working to make fighting games big, have been waiting for.

33

Im getting it on both PC and PS4 once i buy one.
