And it's not on the PC. What makes these gaming companies do this? I swear gaming companies are their own worst enemies.

Note to NSD: If you wish you can move this to the rant section because of the content. I should have put it there in the first place. Sorry guys I know better!

The gaming market on consoles VASTLY out numbers the market on PCs. If companies didn't make console games they'd be stupid.

Absolutely, but why create a game of this sort to take advantage of a device that is so widely known to have issues, especially this sort of sim? Just doesn't make sense, and only hurts the companies bottom line. They could have released this game to use both meaning give the player/owner of the game a choice to only use the controller, or both.

Besides the point I was making when I posted this is not about companies not taking advantage of building games for the PC, or Consoles. It's about creating a game that would have been better by not having to use the Kinetic device in the first place which in my opinion only has hurt the game.

Consoles vs PC is a whole other discussion which has nothing to do with me posting this.
