Splinter Cell: Conviction - Another Delay? (UPDATE)

Bad news if you're both a Splinter Cell: Conviction fan and a PC gamer: you're going to have to wait two weeks longer than everyone else to play. Previously "set in stone", the release date across all major platforms for Conviction was April 13th, now our PC bretheren must suffer till April 27th. Hey but at least you have the demo right? Wrong, no demo will be released for the PC. Ever.
I'm trying real hard to come up with other ideas of how Ubisoft could further fuck over the mouse and keyboard community, but I'm having a hard time. Any ideas?

really the only way it can get worse is if installing the game bricks my computer.
Posted 03/21/2010 at 08:21:38 AMwhy does the screenshot say "x360 and ps3 only"?
Posted 03/22/2010 at 07:45:45 AMx360 and ps3 only? did this go multiplat immediately without me knowing?
Posted 03/22/2010 at 07:55:17 AM@hiljay: No it didn't, just a sloppy error on my part -- it's still 360 and (eventually) PC only. And here I thought I had been clever to photoshop that in...good catch!

The preference for mainstream to have coordinate-assisting auto-aim is because mapping qwerty to functions is, has, and will always be benign.
