Although my point may have missed the mark, or skipped over some of your heads, I was trying to get at the fact that this game should have been released with proper current generation graphics. Dumbed down console-to-pc ports are not acceptable in my opinion regardless of the trends. Sorry for the confusion.
It's not a trend. Making money has been something that people like to do since the dawn of currency in society. That's not going anywhere.
Right now the reality of the matter is that releasing a complete product on the 360 alone is more profitable than doing so on the PC alone.
I agree, I wish it had some better gfx at times. You know what though, the game's art and general design is ******* beautiful. If you stare at a spot you'll notice the low res textures soon enough, but if you move slowly through the world you'll soon forget specific textures and take everything in as a whole.
Not saying I disagree with you, but I understand these companies need to make money as well. Without money we don't get any new fun things to do.
I personally love the direction that Beth is going with their games now. Skyrim is leaps and bounds ahead of the past iterations of their vision. I can't wait to see the next game.
