No more PC exclusives, says Crytek CEO

Crytek president Cevat Yerli has revealed in an interview with PC Play that Crytek will no longer make PC-exclusive titles.

"We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis," he said. "We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a [situation] that is not desirable."

He added: "I believe that’s the core problem of PC gaming: piracy... PC gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we wont have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive any more.”
