They should release it on PC already...put it on Steam and it'll make money.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

BenKenobi -

The issue is that they haven't begun to port it to PCs yet...

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Just because you like his game, doesn't make him a nice person ^

He's talking shit, so the game was developed by him personally and nobody else...Its sold 30,000, its definately going to do another 20,000 in the next couple of months, assuming he gets at least 50%...

$15 x 25,000 = $375,000

oh yes of course.....

He didn't create game alone as you claim. There was a team (although small) making a game so he gets only small part of the money.

him and one other guy i understand....or so i heard

There was an article earlier stating that a PSN port was in talks. He said originally Sony wasn't interested in the game but he got in touch with a different person who was. I'm sure the recent success would help speed this along as well. This is of course after any type of "exclusive" agreement expires. The article also said a WiiWare version wasn't going to happen.

Another interesting part was he said no DLC and no sequel either.

If he was so hard up on the money aspect why not put it on PSN and PC also?

Blow seems like the fussy artist type. A couple of months ago or so, I started to write off Braid after seeing some interview in which he came off like a pretentious twat.

And maybe he is one, but his game rocks!
