Will Amnesia be available for consoles? No!

I don't think it's a horrible idea. Maybe not a retail package, but a digital marketplace download might be popular enough to make the porting process worth it. Then again, I'm not an expert.

But IF Amnesia were to come to consoles, I believe it would would have a profitable audience size. I've told a lot of my friends about Amnesia, and they always seem interested until I tell them it's for PC/Mac/Linux. Some people just prefer a controller or don't have a capable computer.

When I play Amnesia at work (I work at a cave and we're flooded right now so we have a lot of free time. ) my co-workers get excited and even become interested in solving the puzzles while they watch. A 40 year old woman asked me where to download it and said she would as soon as she got home. My point is, Amnesia isn't just for the supposed "PC-gaming elite". It's just a game.

Having an ego about being a "PC gamer" is immature, and in my opinion, sad and pathetic. I prefer playing scary games on a computer. I like having my hands on a keyboard and mouse, with my face in the screen. It just amps up the "immersion" (goo, that word...so...over...used) for me. But that's just my preference. Someone who primarily plays games on a console won't miss the mouse and keyboard.

Console games have scared me before. Silent Hill alone if proof of that. So the whole, "games aren't scary on consoles" argument is mehhhhhhhh.

There really isn't a point in discussing this anyway. I highly doubt Amnesia will ever come to consoles. And I don't really care either way. I'm more concerned about (what seems to be the majority of) PC gamers feeling elite, or special, or more intelligent than console gamers. When you start in with the whole "this game is sooo leet and im sooo smart for playing it and console gamers couldnt handle it!" thing, it makes me feel embarrassed really. And don't make it worse by also throwing in the fact that you are an "older gamer". (Nothing wrong with being old!) It's just... shouldn't you not be concerned with such childish things? I mean really. A lot of you remind me of an angry scenester getting mad about his favorite band releasing an MTV video.
