@DockingThought Everything "goes to" PC? Not true. Let's start by discussing what isn't there on PC: Most sports games, most fighting games, JRPGs, TRPGs, Halo, Gears, God of War. Then let's discuss the history of gaming, which is that PC gaming CREATED your industry. You need to grow some respect, mate.

You don't have to switch, and you don't have to love PC games or gamers, but the platform is very respectable and it's being abandoned by producers in spite of market demand.

Actually, gaming probably wouldn't much of anything today if Nintendo didn't basically revive gaming. With the Famicon, not the NES as most people would say.

Before that we had the wild west that was the Atari 2600,

@AcidKandi ok, let me ask you this: I you got a brand new game for pc ($60) and you were so excited but then it sucked, you'd be pissed, right? Sixty bucks thrown away. If you had bought that game for console at a game store, you could easily return it sometimes even for a full refund. and if it isn't a full refund, at least you get SOME money back for a game you'll never play again.

1) That's the whole point of the argument. Better Hardware equals Better Experience for PC Hardcore Gamers.

2) Totally subjective.

3) There are refunds available for console games? Enlighten me where. If of course you mean by selling it, it effectively means you support Used Copy Sales, (which I might add I personally don't find anything wrong with), HOWEVER, the argument here is that it PREVENTS selling of USED GAMES.

[mindbend13]

there are a few things that i don't like about PC:

1) You only have to buy a console once. You have to continually buy new things for the PC. ( Graphics cards, new computers, etc.) This can cost 100's of dollars. Maybe even up to one thousand

2) Using a keyboard sucks!

3) If you don't like the game, you can't return it for a refund, like with console games.

I think that this game could be good on PC, but I don't want it to delay the next game and ruin the PC gamers' thoughts if the port sucks.

@sc0pl355 and @EquinoxIV both of you made fair points, but there is possibility for increasing saks

I do admire and respect pc gamers want DS to PC. its a great game but for the sake so not every souls fan that plays console gets pissed, it would be best for this petition to make the next souls title into 360/ps3/pc. this way we are all happy next title, I would hate to have to wait for From Software to work out their DS code to port it to PC. that would mean a longer ass wait for the next souls title and if you let another company do it...well more than likely it will be a half ass job.

@SenorStansfield Japanese market =/= global market. As long as we let them know that a PC port would be profitable and worth the time and money that goes into porting it they'll most likely oblige and provide. While your reasoning is correct in why they didn't originally make a PC port it's not enough of a basis to say that they never will make one in the future.

[SenorStansfield]

While everything TotalBiscuit says here is true, the importance (or lack of to be more accurate) of the gaming PC to the Japanese market and developer cannot be understated. The PC is barely part of the gaming world in Japan, with consoles and mobile devises much more prominent. Hell, the PSP alone has more market say over there. So, in the case of Dark Souls, it's completely logical that they don't make a PC port. I'm surprised they even did a 360 version tbh, considering it's profile in Japan.
