I'm not comparing to modern high end phones. I'm talking about typical 2006 desktop PCs and laptops - not gaming-oriented PCs and laptops, mind, just regular. There are players still playing on machines like this. I know one personally, in fact. Once again, too many players think with middle- and upper-class mentalities, assuming that the majority of the playerbase is like them, able to spend thousands on PCs and peripherals per year, when that is simply not the case.

Actually, I tend to be cheery and optimistic! It's mindless drivel about so-called "PS3 limitations" that brings out my cynical side.

This game is not, and never has been held back by PS3 limitations - unless you count those party members that delay your instance by a minute or so because they take so long to load in. The only people that PS3 limitations apply to are PS3 players themselves. SE has continued to develop options for PS4 and PC players, such as the W Crosshotbar - and when PS3 limits them, they don't get the feature, or get a lesser version of the feature. There's nothing that SE has wanted to add to the game but has declined to do so because of the PS3; that is all player speculation, nothing factual at all.

Players wanted a scapegoat, and PS3 was convenient. SE is dropping PS3 now, but for financial reasons, not because of the technical limitations. I want folks to realize that these sweeping changes that PS3 was supposedly holding us back from aren't coming, before they start looking for a new scapegoat.

SE is comfortable with the level the game is at now. It reaches a phenomenally wide base of paying customers. They aren't going to make any changes that endanger that playerbase. Why develop for hundreds of thousands, when you can develop for millions?
