why doesn't a publisher/dev make a PC exclusive IP for all the high end PC gamers and make all that easy money if no one else is

The PC eliet are the loudest, but histroy has shown that more people play games on consoles. Real sad part is that on PC majority of them just go and pirate the game anyways. 

Unless your game can truly only work in a PC space, going PC exclusive is like financial suicide. This is why No Mans Sky will make waaaay more money than star citizen.

it is strange though because all we ever hear about it how amazing high end PC games are yet no one makes any of these games because money talks the loudest

Haha.... it seems that way, but that snothing compared to console revenue streams. Of a $60, the publisher/developer makes $30-$35 on every game sold. If they sell 1M copies then that is $30-$35M right there. Now imagine a game that sells 5M, or those that sell 10-20M.

And there is really no such thing as "amazing high end PC games". Games are games, most of what you have on PC you also have on consoles, there are just certain genres that thrive better on PC or have always failed on consoles. Different kinda gamers. You really shouldn' listen to what most of the PC guys on forums say, in reality a majority of the global gaming public doesn't hve the hardware to run 4k games.. most can't even run 2560p games at 30fps. If there were that many poeple in the world willing to spend $500-$1000 for a ridiculously powerful GPU, then trust me, the PS4/XB1 would have had that kinda hardware and cost $800.

Feels like pc users are getting shafted and graphic quality has to be stunted for the weaker consoles to play catch up.
