| Showertea said: Because modern games sell through hype. Nobody would pay money for 99% of PS2 generation games now, because the graphics are terrible now and the gameplay was never that great. The games people would pay money for are getting sequels and updated re-releases for current-gen systems with current graphics. Also, PC gamers are notorious pirates. Devs don't want to spend money to make a product which will be stolen. |
PC games sell more through word-of-mouth (reason why over 90% of sales of PC games are after the first week of release) not hype, which is why PC games often keep selling for years and years.
Also, put the price low enough, and people will gobble the games in DD services like Steam.
And all old console games are already pirated on PC. How would sell them on PC make them even more pirateable?!
