Well, a few thoughts:
1) JC was indeed talking bollocks about devs only not developing games for PCs as MS had brainwashed users (And not sony, for instance)
How can it be bollocks when they have interviewed a business manager from Microsoft Europe and he has basically openly admitted to not wanting coders to release games on the PC because it loses them money?
You didn't read a thing I said, did you? MS doesn't make the choice of whether a game gets released on the PC or not. That is entirely down to the pushlishers and/or developers. They may have a preference, but that doesn't necessarily make it so. Sony would dearly love all games to only be released on the PS3. Does that happen? No it doesn't. The only way they can manage it is by paying the developers, usually by publishing the game. There are all kinds of things people want, doesn't mean they get them.

Any way, my comment about why the PC market has been stifled by m$ and users being brainwashed were seperate entities. If you can't see why I think console/esp 360 owners are brainwashed then you're either so far up the 360's arse you are blinded or, you are blind.
Look back over every single argument on here over pc vs 360. Look where it began. It began with one of Billy boy's disciples coming along to preach to me how ace console gaming was compared to PC gaming. Deluded, poor creatures who saw PC gaming as a complete evil because it was too much aggro, you needed an expensive PC etc.
And if you can't see the irony, then it's entirely worthless.
And I've given numerous examples of the kind of aggro I've had from PC games. I must've been imagining it.

How many of those have loaded up a modern PC game on a modern PC lately?
Err, me?
In case you haven't realised by now, I'm slightly more involved than just someone who plays games.

Part of the reason why I think people are brainwashed is simply because the 360 was the best of the latest console war. I'm not denying that. However, it's absolutely ridiculous when the 360 crowd reach such a euphoric state about how well their console has done against other consoles that they would be brave enough to argue that their console is better than a PC for gaming. Is it fuck, basically. What's even more brainwashed is people are banging out these statements without actually looking at a modern PC game or comparing the two.
In the current generation, the differences between Console gaming and PC gaming are about as small as they have ever been, so modernity has very little to do with it.

It's kinda like me saying how much better a Lamborghini is than a Ferrari only ever having driven the Lambo. That is brainwashed IMO.
Again, the irony. It's almost stifling. Someone who owns all of the current gaming machines being told by someone who only owns one that he's brainwashed because he's come to an informed choice. Yes, really.
