The greatest problem facing PC gaming is piracy |

At the moment PC platform's savior is piracy. No one would be playing games on a PC if there wasnt piracy, so again piracy is not whats killing the PC platform, its the lack of compelling reasons to buy PC games, even if there was no piracy. Console gamers enjoy comfort, on screen multiplayer, being able to trade games and share games with eachother, having get togethers, controllers, the best genres of gaming, collecting great games...there is a strong culture behind console gaming. Everyting is simply better for the console gamer, the PC gaming experience is not as compelling for gamers to invest into outside the few who like to blow money on a rig to make themselves feel better, and then download games to recoup costs. Games dont sell on PC for a multitude of reasons, which you choose to ignore and blame on piracy and continue to fail. |
In support of his argument he then posts this:

The PC Play magazine has released an English version of an interview it did with Cevat Yerli, president of the German Studio Crytek, which is well known for developing Crysis. In the interview they discuss the success and failures of Crysis, but more importantly the state of the PC gaming industry.
Yerli was asked about the risk of going PC exclusive with a high-profile title, and replied with: “It is certainly. 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.” |
What a truly astounding mind he has.
