No PC PoP DLC

[Feb 02, 2009, 9:55 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Big Download has a confirmation that the Prince of Persia DLC in the works for consoles will not be released on PCs, offering the following quote from Ubisoft's message boards: "Unfortunately for business reasons we won't be seeing any PoP DLC appear. Sorry guys!" There you have it, "business reasons," so there's no reason to take this personally.

It doesn't really matter what excuse they use, the fact remains that not releasing it on PC will not make them money.
If they released DLC on the PC, there would be a good chance that the costs of doing so would outweigh the number of people who bought it. This is especially the case given piracy.

I'm not saying this argument is waterproof, but the fact remains that not releasing it on PC will ensure they don't lose money. And these days, unfortunately, the certainty of avoiding a loss is worth more than the possibility of making a profit.
