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.

why does the screenshot say "x360 and ps3 only"?

x360 and ps3 only? did this go multiplat immediately without me knowing?

Owen Johnson said:

@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!

They could make all games like End War, mic controlled, then the mouse and key board people would be SOL. :( snicker snicker snicker

I'm still trying to figure out why the dwindling "mouse and keyboard" community cannot fucking figure out why their ergonomically disasterous platform has slowly been reverting back to strictly computing. The preference for mainstream to have coordinate-assisting auto-aim is because mapping qwerty to functions is, has, and will always be benign.
