StrategyInformer got their hands on an interview with the president of Crytek, the company behind the eye-candy filled Crysis. The president, Cevat Yerli, commented on the state of the PC gaming industry as a whole when asked about the risk of going PC-only with a high profile title:
“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.”
Very good news for console gamers everywhere. Maybe even us Mac users!
