Crytek president says no more PC exclusives

April 29, 2008 in News comments 3

The Crytek president, Cevat Yerli, has stated that Crysis will no longer be a PC exclusive. The reason behind this is because Crysis is currently at the very top of the chart of most pirated PC games.

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. 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.

Cevat Yerli: Crysis as we have seen is impossible. Crysis would have to be largely changed to bring it to Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Crysis is designed to be PC Exclusive. Our internal focus is not linked to bring Crysis to consoles.

    It got horrible sales and flamed for poor performance coding. The game was released to get cracked almost weeks ahead of release and it still debuted before retail if I recall.

    It also didn't help that all those people with quad cores took it on the chin when the game only really pushed 2 of the cores at once.

    I don't think it's a stab in the back, the first half-ish of the game was enjoyable but you can keep the 2nd half all to yourself. They really found how to nerf a game fast with that floating ship nonsense.
