Am I missing something? Why does its price affect if it will run on your PC?

What I mean is that I won't have a system capable of playing it until the game is fairly cheap. I was actually going to pre-order it today right as Arkane posted that. I'm glad I didn't as I imagine Valve wouldn't have given me a refund.

Ah right. My backlog is such that I'll be waiting until it is cheaper anyway.

My backlog is massive but this was going to be a day 1 "drop everything I'm doing and play it" game. Oh well.

My backlog is full of those kinds of games :/

Those specs are a bit of an arse. It's basically not anyone with consumer grade or laptop hardware. Hell, do 3.0ghz processors even exist not in the future?
Maybe I'll pick up a second hand console (and a second hand game mwhahahaa) and play then sell.
Shame though, I'd much rather mouse and keyboard.

That's the min, right? If you have a quad core 2.4 is the recommended, yes?

I was planning on building a cheap i5 system in the near future, I just don't really feel like having to also plop down $100 on a Windows 7 license for the first game I want to play that doesn't support XP, and then also have to deal with trying to get 3/4 of my game collection working in a new OS. For a port of something that runs on 10 year old hardware.

I'm calling bullshit on those specs to be quite fucking honest.
I mean... those specs are almost identical.

Well, apart from the CPU and the GPU VRAM, that is. I can understand the scalability of an engine being responsible for requiring multiple cores for threads, but Source isn't exactly a GPU hog, so I highly doubt a medium-high config's actually gonna need a GPU with lots of grunt unless, say, you're doing this at 1920x1080 and beyond.
