Early 2006, BioWare put these fears to rest when they announced that Jade Empire was being ported. Could it be? Was BioWare looking to focus more on consoles rather than the beloved PC?
To make matters worse for some, many gamers found Jade Empire to be incredibly easy, which convinced the rabid anti-console crowd that their once favorite developer had 'dumbed down' the game play in favor of more simplistic console controller schemes. BioWare representatives would occasionally mention that they were looking into a possible port, but for the most part, PC gamers resigned themselves to the fact that to play this martial arts RPG, they would have to invest in an Xbox. BioWare gave many of its diehard fans quite a scare when Jade Empire was released on the Xbox in 2005 with no mention of a PC version.
