Crytek to End PC Exclusives

There's a Cevat Yerli Q&A on PC 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.

99. Crytek to End PC Exclusives Apr 30, 2008, 14:16 Ice Nine
 
Am I too late to join in? Who's got the biggest e-peen? From casual observation it looks like dsmart's ahead with TOTAL KUHNOWLEDGE OF BIZNESS AND EKONOMIK.

*ahem*

As a PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS who's been working on Crysis 2 since COMMODARE was out, I'm REALLY peeved that you didn't go into a STOAR and by the first of the crises after playing the demo. SUPAR SUITS aside, some of you went MAXIMUM THEFTERS and went to THE PIRAPE BAY or ISO*UNT and used your YOU TORRENT to get this game which is maximum fun any way you slice a sandwich. then you had the unmitigated gall stones to install it and have fun which in my experience was just NIGH IMPOSSIBLE. And whats worse when the KOREANS got SUPAR SUITS which was my plot element I thought of watching golden girls in the tub, you said F THIS NONSENSE THEIR CLOAKS ARE LONG LASTING LIKE LISTERING and undeleted it.

I agree with dsmart you guys are fn pirate slave hoarder kings and he is the internet genius to solve the mystery so EAT THAT TASTY PICKLES
