That is not true at all, I know many POOR students who have gaming PC's, contrary to what you think, if you have a PC home already, making it good enough to mplay games even on very good settings is vey cheap. Everyone today ahs a PC at home.

You know what else is  cheap?  Games. Relative to the cost of a Crysis-ready PC anyway.

How is that even relevant? A cheap PC can run crysis with ease.

Crytek heeft toch nooit  goede games gemaakt, alleen maar mooie games.

And games are not that expensive. 

And poverty is not a license to steal.

Again, from personal experience I can tell you that most people who pirate are collage students, with a $500 PC that they use for their studies or work, and play pirated games on medium settings at best. You don't need a $1500+ PC to play ALL games, and in all honesty many don't give a fuck. 

I ask again, what does that have to do with my post? I was not even talking about that.....How do you know those who pirate would buy the game anyway??? It's not as big an issue as you make it to be, piracy has always existed.

You disappoint me, curl ... It's extremely sad that you would grossly over generalize a gaming community. Just because they can afford the minimum rigs doesn't equate to the fact that poorer users will be able to get every game and it also doesn't mean that a lot of the PC gamers are to blame since their only given a bad image. It's a fact that piracy wouldn't be as big of a deal if it was eliminated ...

For every 1000 pirated copies eliminated you will only get back 1 sale ... I know it's not a license for pirating but you have to understand the darker side of the world.

The first Crysis wasnt a mega budget game and it was still very good, same for Warhead. Making games on the PC simply isnt as expensive as making games for two different consoles. Even PC exclusive indie games can have AAA visuals on PC (e.g The Forest) simply because they run on PCs. The team that made Metro Last Light is tiny compared to the likes of Infinity Ward and Ubisoft but what they acomplished on PC is purely phenominal (becuase they bothered, no 'parity' nonsense).

Crytek could have made Crysis 2 a PC exclusive and just like Crysis and the Witcher it would have been a success. Piracy would still be an issue, but sticking to one open platform would help them manage costs and appeal to their core audience more effectively. I dont think the company has a loyal fanbase anymore, Homefront 2 will be make or break.

CDProject Red had the right approach. While future titles will also be out on consoles they arent ignoring their original fans. The Witcher 3 will probably have many graphics options available to PC gamers, no dumb fps caps, no deactivated textures or effects, it will be DRM free, it wont get second class treatment and so far the game seems to be transplanting PC centric gameplay onto consoles rather than forcing console centric mechanics onto PC.

In my experience also. They're also entitled brats who think they should have a luxury without paying for it.
