Why do game devolopers still make PC exclusive games?

I love PC gaming a thousand times better than consoles. But with piracy it makes no sense. Also I was told (could be wrong) that porting to the 360 is easy from PC. I understand some games (Crysis) could only be on the PS3 (maybe) but it makes no sense to me otherwise. Financially speaking. Please inform me of your opinions..

 

Thank you

 

Because Piracy isn't a PC exclusive game =)~

Fallout 3 is a great example, it was leaked for the 360 a week ago (might have been longer) and only launches this upcoming week. It has already had tens of thousands of downloads across some of the more popular sites and it hasn't even officially launched yet, which means even more people will come flooding in looking for their free copy this week =/

Honestly I can't really blame folks for DL'ing a game they've been looking forward to for months when it gets leaked weeks in advance...doesn't make it right, but still =P

PS - Crysis would need a lot of work to port to any console at even med/high settings, they took advantage of hardware depth simply not available on consoles...and it still ran poorly on some very nice systems. I'm confident that very high would be literally impossible on the 360 or PS3...and the Wii would explode before the disc spun up...which ironically would mean it did better than the PS3 and 360 by managing to create at least one lifelike explosion =P

 

Ok,Fallout 3 was A REAL COPY,that the retailer,sold or stole...Not a pirated one on a pirated DVD disc like pc,second Crysis would have to be dumbed down for PS3 and knowing EA it would be released on 360/Wii/DS/GBA/PSP
