Well I don't mean to hijack the thread here but I'm genuinely curious:

How large is the game's PC community? Are there even enough players/servers to play without paying for cross platform?

I'm pretty sure exactly zero players from the competitive DM games (UT, Quake, etc) are playing Shadowrun (I can't speak for other game communities), so frankly I'm not sure from where exactly it drew any competitive player base that it may have on the PC. The game pretty much got ridiculed from all angles (beginning from the day that article was discovered), then the developer threw gasoline on the fire by complaining about bad reviews, and the 2 or 3 people I know who bought the game just for the sake of trying it out ended up telling everyone they coasterized it pretty quickly. So it was pretty much doomed from that segment of the gaming population.
