Konami and Bandai Namco announced that the scheduled beta testing for both Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 and DRAGON BALL FighterZ will skip the PC. The big publishers did not reveal the reasons why there won’t be any PC beta testing, however we are almost certain that this has to do with the usual data-mining that occurs on the PC platform.

The online beta phase for Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 will begin on July 20th and will feature the new 3v3 online co-op mode. Obviously Konami wants to test its online code before releasing the game to the public, which would make sense to also run a closed PC beta testing.
On the other hand, Bandai Namco did not reveal the dates for DRAGON BALL FighterZ’s closed beta phase, though it did claim that it will feature nine playable characters.
Here is hoping that the online code for both Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 and DRAGON BALL FighterZ won’t be busted on the PC due to the lack of a PC beta testing!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

:I Hope consoles die , well they are dying but too slow I hate it when pc is left out
same i feel about piracy i hate when paid coustomers are left out
the simple fact is that it is due to implementation of denuvo why would they implement denuvo twice for beta and final release ahen they can simply skip pc blame piracy not console
lol
consoles will never die and why would you be so miserable to wish something like that?
they won’t die. They will evolutionize into cloud gaming
I like how pubs hate data mining, yet it’s really the consumer trying to obtain the truth and the state of the game vs the desire of the publisher to hide it and hype what they slice off for show and tell.
I honestly want these pubs to die, because it’s clear as daylight that they dislike having their lies brought up front and their bad craftsmanship too.
Well no worries then… skid is gonna deliver a full “demo”. Even tho im gonna buy that dbz game day 1 but not without a demo or some test.
Lets hope PES18 is actually good…
This is bad bad idea, makes me not want to support you anymore
