PC Play magazine has an English version with Cevat Yerli, the president of Crytek, known for developing the PC shooter, Crysis. One of the questions in the interview is the state of the PC gaming industry.
Yerli’s response was this:
“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.”
We could see futurer Crytek games appear on Playstation 3 and hopefully a Crysis port if we are lucky! Stay tuned for more new as we get it.
