Crytek to End PC Exclusives
Play (thanks
Eurogamer)
with word that Crysis is likely the last PC-exclusive game from developer
Crytek. Though he once again dismisses speculation that a console port of Crysis
is in the cards, he places the blame for declining PC game sales squarely on the
shoulders of software pirates, a theory that has become pretty commonplace. Word
is:We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing
Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading
that is not desirable. I believe that’s the core problem of PC Gaming, piracy.
To the degree PC Gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform.
Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us
and I believe we wont have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are
going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore.
