Wieviele großen Kracher sind noch Konsolenexklusiv bei denen MS/Sony nicht massiv Geld zahlt?// Crytek on why Developers move to Multiplatform
{It wasn't a total shock when we heard that Crysis 2 would be coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, basically because it's going to do well on the PC, and the addition of two huge entertainment systems wasn't going to do it harm. However, it seems the reason that CryTek moved to consoles in the first place, was because of piracy. In an interview with PC Play, Director of Business Development and Engine Licensing at CryTek said;} [Ref]
"Licensing a PC-only engine was made difficult in the last few years due to the changing nature of the games market itself. Piracy hurt PC-only games in terms of sales figures, so publishers and developers moved away from making such titles. As a result, console middleware was more widespread than PC focused technology such as CryENGINE® 1 and 2, but we have had some great successes and developers are working on great looking games that will launch soon, that started out on earlier versions of CryENGINE®. Were happy with the quality we achieved, but circumstances limited the quantity of licensees we signed up. That wont be an issue with CryENGINE® 3!"

21.12.2009: PC gaming is dead, finally. :sad:
Die Piraterie hat dem PC echt den Hahn abgedreht. Heute haste fett Graka,
fett CPU und fett Ram, aber die besten Games kommen auf Konsolen.
Firmen wie Blizzard, Steam usw lachen sich bei soetwas doch nur ins Fäustchen...
