is piracy killing PC platform ?

why developers are still publishing games on PC platform ? on PC platform more than 50% are pirates .. then why developers don't give their first priority to console?

I'm not sure where you're getting your information but it looks to me like we are just entering the golden age of PC gaming and traditional platforms are going the way of the Dodo. Perhaps I'm just a fanboy and don't know it.

If the Steam Boxes will be considered a "platform" then maybe not quite the way of the Dodo*

I've got to agree, there seems to be a resurgence in PC games with consoles taking a hit. There has never been such a gap in gpu power as there is between a high end PC or even mid budge PC and consoles.

The thing with piracy is it pushes the prices up for those who pay. My biggest hate for PC games are people using hacks in multiplayer games, it just destroys any fun for everyone else, not something that is any real problem with consoles

LMAO There are more games sold for the PC every year then all the Consols combined... Its a 3 to 1 ratio where are you getting your info at? And Pirates Make copys of consol games as well. You have steam Orgin and Uplay that are gaming platforms that sell millions of games check it out.

Because it is profitable.

Id guess that developers are tired of dumbing down their games to fit console gaming. But that is just a guess .

well atleast we got some hope that pc games will be good ports now since steam now offers refunds it pushes developers to optimize the game and make it without as many bugs or they get no money from us this is one of the best things introduced to steam
