Dark Souls is a critically acclaimed game, developed by From Software, known for its high level of difficulty and innovative online features. The problem? It's not on PC!
 
A port of this game has a high chance of being extremely successful for From Software and Namco Bandai. Given the sales of games such as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and The Witcher, there is a large market for games like this. PC gamers love unforgiving, hardcore games.
 
A port may also mean that the area's in the game, such as Blighttown, won't suffer from slowdown. An online oriented video game is also perfect for the capabilities of a PC. Steam would also be suitable venue provided the game is sold at a reasonable price for a late port. Steamworks could provide a strong and easy to use online infrastructure.
 
So please sign this petition if you wish for a PC port of Dark Souls.

...I would like to take the opportunity to have many eyes focused on this forum to ask to the guy who started the petition on http://petitionbureau.org/DarkSoulsForPC if we could get in touch. If you read me or if someone could let him know I'm looking to get in touch with him, that would be great!

Aussi incroyable que ça paraisse, la pétition visant à demander l'arrivée de Dark Souls sur PC n'est pas tombée dans l'oreille d'un sourd. Le community manager de Namco Bandai, répondant au petit nom de Shoupinou (et qui me fait donc perdre mon titre de "porteur de pseudo le plus ridicule de tous les internets" ), confirme que les têtes pensantes de l'éditeur prennent bien note de cette demande massive.
 
Notez que ça ne veut pas dire que le jeu sortira bien sur PC, mais il reste quand même un petit espoir pour tous les PCistes rêvant d'un jeu qui les fait mourir 17 fois avant même d'être arrivé au menu de lancement d'une nouvelle partie.

Damn you are amazing!
I honestly wasn't expecting such a massive support. My boss(es) even came to talk to me about this, after it explodes all around the world. If you wanted to have the attention of Namco Bandai Games, now you have it.
The future is in your hands, and I hope you will keep supporting this.
I make a personal objective to make sure every relevant people in Namco Bandai Games is in touch with this formidable effort.
Great Thanks!

Rien n'est sur, mais la fameuse pétition envoyée, suite à la demande d'un admin français (Shoupinou) des forums officiels de Namco Bandaï, vient d'attendre pas moins de 87 000 signatures. Bien que les ventes en France ont été en deçà des attentes de l'éditeur, par rapport à son grand frère Demon's Souls, il se pourrait que Dark Souls se voit finalement porté sur PC et permettre ainsi de rebooster les ventes. Mais le concept de mourir souvent plait-il finalement aux fans... ?
 
Toujours est-il que le dit Shoupinou intervient une nouvelle fois sur les forums officiels afin de rechercher l'auteur de la pétition, pour qu'il lui envoie, ce serait une bonne nouvelle pour les PCéiste si ce Dark Souls voit le jour sur PC au final.
