Huge bet and they lost.
The thing is, Crytek just give the finger to their PC install base from Crysis/Farcry, they made a name for themsleves because Crysis was a benchmark game for a few years back in 2007. I remember we were all trying to get a build that could handle Crysis.
Thing is, later on, they expended, they shifted focus to consoles, and F2P model ( remember http://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-future-crytek-games-will-be-free-to-play/1100-6382131/ ) to finally bite the dust now.
I think they should go either second party with whatever console, or stick to PC only and do what they did best !
