PS3 support is done

[Roth_Trailfinder]

For around $200 give or take you can pick up a GTX 760 and 8 gigs of ram and upgrade a 2006 PC to blow the doors off a ps3, so nice try to those trying to say hardware limitations was not the reason for removal of PS3 support.

None of which is relevant for them dropping support.

If 40-50 percent of the game's players were playing on PS3, they would not be dropping it - would not be cutting off at least 35% (assuming some upgraded) of the revenue stream from the game. Very few people still play on PS3, not enough to justify the cost of continuing to develop and update the client for it, THAT is why they are dropping it.

PS3 limitations going away are a nice side benefit, but you're deluding yourself if you think that those limitations are the only, or even the prime, reason for dropping support.

Follow the money. Always, follow the money.
