Relax. This simply means that Crytek -- the well-known development team behind the original Far Cry and Crysis -- won't be making games just for PCs. In addition to creating PC titles, Crytek decided to join the long list of publishers and developers that keep dishing out console games. And here's why:
PC Play: How do you estimate the current state of the PC gaming industry? Some say that it's only a matter of time when it's going to finally die-off, the others say that "the big one" is only getting its comeback pace.
Considering Crysis is a PC-exclusive title, what do you think of its market reception and its future? Skeptics would say that it's pretty risky going PC-exclusive with such a high-profile title.
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.
So, piracy is to blame once more, what else is new. Mind you, hopping on the console bandwagon would be a wise business move on their part and everybody knows by now that CryEngine 2 will be running on consoles... wait, wait, what's that? Do I hear the crack of EA's whip again?

Wot u mean by EA's Whip? r they the secret hand behind this?
I think Steam is PC Gaming's savior and answer to piracy with its non-intrusive DRM. What gamer doesn't have internet these days? Sims players, thats who.
I buy my games and I only buy games that I think I can run well and enjoy. Also I am not buyijng a new pc just to play this game...it just was not worth it.
On the topic at hand: Well, you can always try and find a million reasons why people might be downloading a game. It doesn't matter. What matters is that people *do* download (especially PC) games like crazy and that console games -as Yerli said- sell better at a factor of 3x - 5x. As PC gamers we can either just finally do something about it (like *buy* all of our games) or like some people on here insert our fingers in our ears and continue to go "lalalalalalala can't hear ya" while downloading the latest BitTorrent client.
On top of all of this, this particular game had the problem of being set for even a small niche with it's high hardware requirements.
i would appreciate if those of you who have the ability to type disregarding rational thought......STOP IT.
Piracy = games, movies, music, programs, porn, you name it.
second of all, GTA 4 for example is the most pirated console game in history judging by the polls on the internet lately, so Crytek and EA can stick a flute up their ass and blow on it because whining about your own product is and always will be a form of advertisement.
piracy wouldn’t end if consoles were the only platforms in existence, it would probably get worse.
Crysis = $50
PC upgrades simply to play Crysis = $500
Money Crytek made from Crysis = $$ Millions and counting $$
Knowing that Crytek won't accept blame for making a loosely coded tech demo a commercial game and then blaming poor game sales on piracy = Scapegoat.. oops.. Priceless.
