Crysis alone sold over one million copies on PC in four months. The myth that the PC sku doesn’t sell needs to be overcome.

Holy moly! A shooter selling 1 million units in four months! That's a record that'll never be topped.

I wonder why developers don't make PC the priority anymore.

BTW, when did that game come out? Probably when piracy was less rampant.

When has PC piracy not been rampant? I've been playing PC games for decades, and I can't remember a time when it wasn't amazingly easy to steal games ...

Now, with that said, PC games tend to have a higher margin per unit sold than console games because they don't have the licencing fees that are associated with console gaming; and (while I'm not positive) I suspect the publisher/developer tends to pocket the savings associated with digital distribution through Steam.

Bear in mind I said less. I wasn't implying there wasn't piracy. Over the last few years torrents have really exploded and fast internet is more accessible than ever. I know people who can't figure out how to update Windows, but they are experts at pirating.
