Which publisher should PC gamers get in bed with?

never ever use the word master race because u sound like a total douchebag

LOL what do u mean get in bed with?

Well, Sony passed on EA's new program, so that's not really a matter of them getting cozy with Microsoft as much as its Sony stiff-arming EA.

Besides, PC gamers already have the love of Valve and CDProjekt.

The "master race" needs to get its fucking head out of its own ass and realize Steam(and by extension the whole of Valve) is far from perfect and no matter what EA's faults are(and thank God, there are many to choose from), creating Origin and putting their games there instead of Steam is not really one of them. No one has to be Valve's bitch if they don't want to. It's a good client that works hell of a lot better than Steam and all this "I don't play EA games because they're not on Steam" crap has to stop. A true gamer plays all good games, regardless if they're on Steam or not. At least EA had the courtesy of leaving their older games on Steam without introducing the double client feature that those cunts from Ubisoft have for their games.

Also, there are pretty honest and user-friendly publishers in the triple A business like Square Enix or 2k and we could rally behind them. As for Indie game creators, most of them have sold out to Steam, just for the chance of having their games be in that piece of shit Greenlight. And so most of them are lazy cunts that create games like Grass/Rock Simulator to make a quick buck of the stupidity of the so-called "master race".

But of course, the "master race's" stupidity goes much further than that, given that an actual non-dick-bag game company like Square Enix is having serious financial problems, on account of people not buying their games enough. Because, despite people bitching about EA's and Ubishit's dickness, they still get the biggest profits. Because hypocrisy fucking rules this world.

"And then there's Ubisoft and PlayStation, exclusive DLCs for Watch Dogs" Pretty sure the only exclusive DLC for Watch_Dogs on PS4 is the White Hat Hacker suit. Apart from that one, every other single DLC is included in the Season Pass on PC... and, it is just a suit.

Answering your question, VALVe, dude, not that big of a question there. Would have gone with Square Enix because of their IPs, but Nixxes trends to do some very shitty PC ports. Like... REALLY shitty PC ports, take a look at Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut for example; and they aren't even going to fix it.

we don't need to really get in bed with anyone. We trust steam or a lot do why shouldn't we? As I see it they are a good company that is doing things right and really listens to the consumer. EA lately to me seems like it is doing better in its pc market origin is looking up and they seem to be trying to regain lost faith. We still get games from all kind of developers and maybe not all the ones consoles get. We have a much better indie market which has led to a lot of new, creative games that are usually great priced and worth the money to me more then 50-60$ AAA titles to me any way.

But that being said if there was a company I would like to see some more games come to pc from it would be Namco, Nintendo. I think they have great games that would appeal to PC crowd maybe I am a bit biased because I like them though. Seriously though who hear has not played a Mario game and enjoyed it?

It has been confirmed Source 2 engine is coming out. So there must be a game to showcase it. Many clues point to Left 4 Dead 3. But maybe.... just maybe.... Half Life 3 too!

Let consoles keep EA and Ubi, they are poison.

Valve, Sega, Paradox, Indies are the main stars of PC digital distribution nowadays. Getting in bed with anyone is a bit wird thing to say about publishers, though.

Too bad Valve doesn't really care about PC in the end - if they did, they would make MS shut up that "E3 is console-only and only place to talk about PC is LoL-DOTA2-tournaments" and would make Steam conference there.

PC gamers should not "get in bed" with any publisher or developer. That's what console gamers do, and it's why so many of them think it's perfectly normal to screw over the consumers the way they do.

Bioware and Valve for a threesome. i mean to cuddle together

We just have to wait one or two years and the developers will prefer pc over consoles. The next gen is already running at max power...

Probably japanese publishers since they're still the most iffy ones to support PC, although support been gathering greatly.
Really should get in bed with no one, shouldn't have to pay them to want to support PC gaming. The pros should convince them. Become so great they want to support it.
As far as I know, patching games on Steam is free, partial of trading cards money go to publishers, can let modders make your game more content-rich (L4D would be an example, Castlevania HD would be an example of being on PC would've helped a lot). Less focus on physical retail so I'd assume larger profit margins.

No one. I have love for many developers (like CDProjekt or Obsidian among others) and I wouldn't get in bed with them, much less a publisher.

We PC gamers should get in bet with...Desura and the horde of indie games.

Wait, did I just say that on STEAMgifts. Whoops.

CD-Projekt, Obsidian, Bethesda, idSoftware, Warner Brothers, Square-Enix, its a good time to be a PC player.

Only one I'd trust completely would be Valve. They develop high quality titles, keep DLCs to a minimum (if there are any at all) and don't bloody price gouge like the majority of other AAA titles.

Technically, in general, they already are with Valve.
