I'm a huge PC gamer with a few thousand hours on XBox and PS3 too. After reading the article I posted here from Kotaku I had a hard time understanding a few things. What are the difficulties involved with getting a game to the PC platform? I raise this question because normally the shoe is on the other foot. Game developers struggle to get their game on consoles and can often waste time and money. Destiny is programmed on a computer. A PC platform seems like the native environment.
[b]Is it a technical issue?[/b]
I really don't think so... [i]*("Destiny is programmed on a computer. A PC platform seems like the native environment.")*[/i]
[b]Is the friction caused is a Business/Legal issue?[/b]
[u]Could be[/u], but I find that unlikely... With Bungie's recent games in the past, console exclusive games where expected because Microsoft needed Halo to help support their console. Does Microsoft still hold keys to doors Bungie can't open in the PC world?
I need peace of mind. I need to relate to the devs. Give me hope, or shoot me down, but what I/(we) want to know is. [u]What is the resistance Bungie faces in making this game a successful PC title?[/u]

They did feasibility tests for it in January '11 and haven't talked about it since. They did those same tests for the PS3 at that time and it's been announced. Take from that what you will.
