Digy123

Hi lads,if you are a PC gamer and are interested in this please sign the petition https://www.change.org/petitions/ubisoft-release-tom-clancy-s-the-division-for-pc#

It would be a shame to see such a game only go into development on Consoles

Not really Ubisoft basically called for it, they said if there was enough interest it would happen

I'd like to see it on PC, but given the fact I hate Ubisoft / U-Play and their DRM etc I won't.

If it comes out I would buy it though most likely, half the signatures on that petition though won't ....they'll acquire the game no doubt.

The have changed there drm model and removed the nuts 24hr connection and now its very similar to steam last I checked bar the very insecure/unstable uplay.

The whole "if PC gamers want it enough, they should beg for it" really does not play with me.

SeantheMan

I lol'd that about after an hour of posting the above, someone posted a thread saying Ubisoft got hacked...

It's obviously going to be on PC in fairness

I have no problem with the petition or Ubisoft or Uplay.

I signed this petition ages ago. I'd imagine given Ubisofts statements and Massive's track record as a PC developer that we will see this game on PC.

I bet it was already planed as a pc game. With this bull**** petition twist they are making other people do marketing for them. Ubisoft is smart.

Exactly. The similarities between console and PC development now mean that essentially everything that's on console can theoretically make its way to PC relatively (RELATIVELY) easily. I can't claim to have any inside knowledge on this one, but there's only a minuscule chance that PC development on this isn't well underway.

I don't really care if its a marketing ploy or not. Signing the petition took me maybe 30 seconds tops, no skin of my nose.

If the game comes out on PC and it gets good reviews, I'll buy it, if it doesn't or if it gets bad reviews I won't. How its marketed doesn't matter to me.

Well most games can be ported to a PC quickly and cheaply, that isn't the issue. The issues for developers is it a worth while use of resources. A PC port could make money for them sure but moving on to the next project and skipping a PC port might make them more money overall.

The next gen consoles are essentially PCs though. There's not all that much in terms of additional resources needed to put a PC release of a next gen game out as far as I'm led to understand

Optimization is a huge amount of work, and if in the end this isn't some PR ****e then they've gone to the effort to estimate how much it'll cost and how much it'll make for them.
