Wha? Held back by PC? Totally backwards, you say? Not at all. Remember that SE wants to cast as wide a net as possible to keep as wide a playerbase as possible. That means keeping the game playable on older PCs - even ones less powerful than PS3. If they improve the game in the way folks in this thread are suggesting, they'll lose a lot of players. Not everyone can afford to upgrade their PC every year, or even every ten years. Making this game bleeding edge was one of the critical mistakes they made with the 1.0 release. They're certainly going to play it a lot more conservatively from this point on.

PS3 released in 2006 with 512 megs of RAM. Modern $200 phones come with 2 gigs. The PS3 is weaker than a modern high end phone, nevermind a PC of any sorts that came out in the last 7-8 years.
