IncGamers quotes
I Am Alive creative director Stanislas Mettra on the reasons there
will be no PC edition of the upcoming survival game (thanks
Eurogamer). "We’ve heard loud and clear that PC gamers are bitching about there being no version for them," said Mettra. "But are these people just making noise just because there’s no version or because it’s a game they actually want to play? Would they buy it if we made it?" He then goes on to invoke the spectre of piracy:
"It’s hard because there’s so much piracy and so few people are paying for PC games that we have to precisely weigh it up against the cost of making it. Perhaps it will only take 12 guys three months to port the game to PC, it’s not a massive cost but it’s still a cost. If only 50,000 people buy the game then it’s not worth it."

Dades: I'm assuming since it's going to be a downloadable budget title now the price will be around $30, $40 tops, but still at that price they'd be making a profit if they sold 50,000.
His argument just seems to belie his lack of faith in the product, not too much a distorted view of reality. Yeah piracy exists to a large extent on PC, but it exists in just as large quantities on consoles, and in some ways is even easier to achieve on them. |
