Hezi, read the fine print they ARE doing ghost recon for PC.
and believe it or not, i do not know where you are getting that info from but PC gamers are waay outnumbered by console enthusiasts.

Oh man, this is definitely the news I was waiting for. Made my day

Great news indeed, hopefully we get some more PC specific info before too long, for example the release date.

Not really a case of not being interested, but more of the way PC gamers have been lead along for too long this time, kind of makes this not really any kind of news in general. That is not my opinion, but all I can see on other gaming sites right now.

Hope the game is a success, but it has some serious work to do.

Oh and to everyone who previously said "Why would they release GR:FS for the PC when the PC was already getting GR:Online"...

Only one thing to say....

HA!

Ha? As if you yourself did not have basis for reasonable doubt and acknowledge as much multiple times? As if Ubisoft's treatment of the 'Available on PC?' question with ridiculous obtuseness? As if Mister Adrian Lacy himself does not as much acknowledge there was cause for reasonable doubt in his emphasis in his VLOG announcment HERE?

Of course I'm glad it's on PC, but sir: "HA!"?

Yes, regrettably, that is the largest font I could use.

I'll be here to say "HA" after you spend your money on it and then proceed to complain about how its not GR and how buggy it is lol.

IT'S NOT GHOST RECON!!!

Absolutely excellent news indeed!

A very surprising (and equally welcome!) development to see the U(bisoft)-turn towards PC gamers once again. While I'm not at all getting my hopes up to find a valid GR successor in Future Soldier, I am mildly optimistic that this change might hint at (please, everyone hold on to something now!) a reinstatement of some common sense at Ubisoft headquarters.

Who knows, if they finally managed to do ONE thing right, they could actually end up doing yet ANOTHER thing right some day!

The issue of it being true that Ubisoft weren't going to release GRFS for the PC is debatable. In one instance, the article by PC gamer last year could've easily been a bit of a publicity stunt to get a reaction of support for the game onto the platform, with the intention for release being there all the time in the background. Conversely, in an interview with 'I Am Alive' producer Stanislas Mettra and then the quick rebuttal of those comments by him shortly (and happening at the same time) after give rise to the fact that if the original article in PC gamer of GRFS being "only available to consoles" weren't true, then why didn't Ubisoft quickly backtrack and correct those comments either too. We'll never really know...

In any case, I think a big congratulations should be given to each and every person who read of the news last year and expressed a public comment towards their support for the platform on the multitude of gaming websites, petition sites, social networking and youtube channels. Be those comments constructive, intelligent, offensive or otherwise, if it weren't for that overwhelming reaction, I doubt we'd be getting such news now. I also find it all too coincidental of this decision being reached shortly after a recent article by Gabe Newell about how important it is for gaming companies to listen to their customers. Love or hate him (& Steam), you can't deny that comments like this from someone like Gabe who is A) successful in what he does and B) is respected among other game devs in the industry do infact carry weight and are shared within the gaming industry extremely quickly. I'm sure assurances were given to Ubisoft by him over the security of his platform for distribution of such software, I don't see how it can be done any other way. Ubisoft is one of Steam's major software publishing clients, to lose releasing GRFS on that platform would be a huge blow to them since EA's take down of Crysis 2.

HELL YEAH!!!

Yes, what shadowblade said; I was a bit taken aback by what seemed to be Rocky trivializing what has been valid Fan doubt and concern -- the very thing that has them as such ardent franchise Fans. Even though I'm with the majority here that feel this probably won't be any sort of coup for the Ghost Recon 'franchise' (and I'd love to be wrong and surprised); I regard this is as a win for the PC platform which has been under constant pressure of being marginalized. The YETI engine is very cool, so it will be especially nifty GR:FS takes advantage of the substantial headroom even rather nominal PCs have to offer over and above consoles.
