sry i read under the pic and missed the stuff above my bad

Good news.  I've been waiting to play this.

So... no official date so far? I reaaaaally want to play Minervas Den since I enjoyed Bioshock 2 Main Campaign. 

Good news

" Wonder why they took so long to publish this to pc "

Haha! I knew it! Thats why I still did not uninstall it.

I guess I'll buy bioshock 2 the next time steam has a sale

YAY! I'll actually get this then

Actually yes. I *am* pleased to hear that. 

They probably saw that article about how many Steam users there are and were like 
 
'..Fuck! that's money!'

Timing and technical issues: 
 
"Mafia 2 technically didn't make much money, so at this time we want to sell something profitable."

Hooray! I'm a valued customer and that Downloadable Content option on the Single Player menu is not worthless

Glad to hear it, although my tinfoil hat is glowing and that makes me think this was all part of a plan to cover up a delay and build up hype.  I also have concerns for the Steam version, which always tends to have extra baggage when it comes to DLC.

This almost smells of marketing.  It's an old strategy to take something off the table to make people want the thing more, then eventually "give in" to the demands to sell the thing later. 
 
Well played 2K.  Well played.

Hmmm... Brad made Minerva's den seem like a great story add on and once I realized I would never play it, I spoiled the hell out of it. And so the next day...  Karma I guess.

The post pretty much explained it. What's left to wonder? "

Awesome, maybe if they fix the mouse input I can actually play the game finally.

Yes! I had put bioshock 2 for 360 on my gamefly because I only own the pc version and brad made it sound so good

Nice. Maybe I'll now be inclined to pick up Bioshock 2 during the inevitable Steam Christmas sale.

woot, maybe the multi will get a few more people for a bit cus of this also

We still need playlists for the Rapture  Metro Pack maps, though.

Great news!  Glad they listen to the community on Minerva's Den.  I was seriously bummed out about that!

They have neglected their PC fanbase so long I doubt anyone's even around to care anymore. Sorry 2K, its too little, too late.

Me=Happy!

I'm not a PC gamer but this is very good news for those of you who are! This is actually a DLC chapter worth the bloody money.

Minerva's Den was awesome. Love the story, and it's very Bioshock through and through.  
 
I don't know that I'd say it was better than the full game of Bioshock 2, but then I really liked that story as well. A good story will more than make up for a lot of gameplay issues for me.

I feel terrible for those slow learners out there who are still prevalent in their bandwagon ways. BioShock 2 itself is actually very good.
 
Anyways, this is good news for PC users. Try not to pirate it :P

Very happy to hear this. Will buy.

Well, they gave an explanation of what happened, rather than why it happened. I'm pretty sure he was trying to ask why they just gave up working on it once they encountered some bugs and then proceeded to give up and then start work on another project?   Why did they have to wait until a barrage of complaints to go back to working on something that they never should have stopped working on in the first place?  "Hey this DLC is kind of a bit buggy on PC; alright, fuck this, let's just work on something else now!"

Piracy. Why spend all those man hours fixing those bugs when you're not going to turn a profit?   That's my guess, anyway. "

Glad to see this news! Will buy!

It's probbably too much to expect a GOTY Edition or something, to get all the DLC nice and cheap with the game considering I haven't played it yet.

People use piracy as a classic scapegoat these days. If piracy really was as bad as people claim, PC gaming would be dead. Blizzard, Relic, Valve, ect would be dead. Steam would be dead. And no games would ever come out. Piracy literally would have killed PC gaming years ago. "

Excellent news! I bought Bioshock 2 on Steam and loved it and after hearing about Minerva's Den on the Bombcast I was pumped to play it. Glad I'll finally get the chance!

Guess I'll wait and pick up this version when the DLC comes out.

Sweet! Now to finish Bioshock and actually start playing Bioshock 2.

Looks good

This is why you don't use Games for Windows Live on your PC games.  They weren't going to release the patch because they didn't think it would pass Microsoft certification.  Why ON EARTH would you intentionally limit yourself with Microsoft's nonsense about certification for patches when the PC is an open platform?  It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  If not for GFWL, you could release a patch whenever you want.  Heck, if you use Steamworks, you can push any updates and small/large bugfixes out to your players with no trouble at all, automatically.   Stop ruining PC gaming, Microsoft.

Cool, now I need to get the actual game.

For one I'm not surprised. Usually when a developer says that something is not coming to PC, it really means "we'll release it on the PC after you buy the DLC on either the XBOX or PS3".

Good news, will definately buy this when it is out! But saying that I've just about had it with buggy GFLW titles now, will avoid these games like the plague from now on...

Alright, bring on the PlatinumPlus-version with everything included and you have a sale.

NICE! 
 
I borrowed a mates 360 copy upon release and played through it, i was not overly impressed especially with the textures and graphics, so i figured i would pick up the PC version to keep later on down the line when it priced dropped.
 
I saw the version with the free collectors artbook on sale around a month back for 9.99 delivered (Zavvi uk)  
 
Did a quick e-search to find posts claiming a PC patch was in the works, so i picked it up, then a week or so later that nice Elizabeth lady posted up that they were pretty done with the pc version, so tough titty :/  
 
She was getting hammered on the forums about it, to be fair i would not have bought the game if i knew the pc version was getting dropped.
 
I don't buy much DLC nowadays at all, but the Minervas den has such good reviews.

Excellent news. I was, shall we say, a tad miffed when I heard the news about them discontinuing P.C development. Had it just been for the DLC, I could have almost seen a reasonable argument for doing so, but discontinuing patch support for such a high profile game reeks of negligence.
 
Anyway, no need to worry now, I look forward to enjoying Minerva's Den when it finally makes an apperance on P.C

I just finished Bioshock 2 for pc, good game.  Hopefully all the trolls will back it up by actually buying the dlc.
