Crysis likely Crytek’s Last PC Exclusive

Posted On: Thursday 1 May 2008

Cevat Yerli of developer Crytek says in a Q&A at PC Play that their first person shooter Crysis is likely their last PC Exclusive game. He blames software pirates and declining game sales on the PC platform for this. He also declined to comment on whether a console port of Crysis is in the works.

"Cevat Yerli: 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."
