Well it's a 110GB download for another retread of a decade old franchise, artificially locked to Windows 10 and the windows store and with graphics that - while not bad - don't really exceed many DX9 and DX11 titles.
It's like they didn't actually *want* a PC playerbase with all the ways they've hamstrung the game and limited it's market.
I guess I was a bit misleading in how I worded that.
Ranked matches seemed to be an issue on the PC but social matches were not. Prior to the cross-platform conversion, which happened 4 months after release, there was no problem playing social matches on the PC. So it would seem the PC market was at least big enough for healthy online competition.
I don't know why the PC users had such an aversion to Ranked matches but the same holds true now which effectively means that there is almost no way for PC players to play with other PC players.
