Honestly, it's the shittier ones that do. Companies like Valve and Blizzard are still raking in billions (even before WoW came out). So what do shitty developers do? Migrate to the consoles, where people have far lower standards for games. |
Bingo. You release the game at the same time as the console versions, or lead on the PC, and tailor it towards the platform's strengths (better graphics, better online, better controls etc) and the odds are you will make money if the game's decent and not dumbed down. Release some crappy port 6-12 months later full of DRM and don't even redo the menus for a mouse and keyboard and you might as well not have bothered.
