lets break this down

-Dev offers the game through a store that gives more revenue, helping the developers
-Fans boycott the game due to brand loyalty
-"If people on PC dont buy the game, then we wont make games for PC anymore"

ffs, are people really so butthurt that Fortnite is doing well that their prime directive is to never support Epic Games again, even going to lengths to boycott their new storefront which promises to give developers a larger revenue percentage than anywhere else? these people arent fans, they are elitist scum bags who are imposing the same 'my console is better than yours' mentality within a community that has for years acted above that behavior.

You forgot two crucial step:

-Dev makes a new game
-Fans get excited to play the new game
-Dev starts to sell the game on the same store where you can find its previous games since August 2018
-Dev offers the game through a store that gives more revenue, helping the developers
-Dev decides to pull the game from the first store three weeks before release
-Fans boycott the game due to brand loyalty
-"If people on PC dont buy the game, then we wont make games for PC anymore"

That is what makes people angry and the reason for all this. You don't see the same comments for games as big if not bigger like The Division 2 or others like the final season of The Walking Dead, but that's because they've announced its exclusivity months before their launch.

It's the difference between doing things right, or making a mess.

 

OT: As other s have said, it's a stupid comment that hurts them a lot more than anything else.

I expect an appology from that developer in a matter of days, a public statement from THQ Nordic, Koch Media or both stating that the developer wasn't talking in their behalf and that they won't abandon PC and also, maybe, that the dev no longer works for them.
