Transformers: Fall of Cybetron won’t be coming to the PC; outside of High Moon’s area of expertise

You know what, this is bullcrap. There, I said. High Moon has just revealed that they will not port ‘Fall of Cybetron’ to the PC, because the PC is outside of High Moon Games’ area of expertise and as a result of that, they won’t be bothered with porting it.

Just that extra touch and nothing more. Continue reading Transformers: Fall of Cybetron won’t be coming to the PC; outside of High Moon’s area of expertise
