Why do developers even bother to make PC ports...

Why do developers even bother to make PC ports? PC ports normally sell 100k copies while in the Playstation they sell millions. Also PS protects games from piracy. It literally make no sense, companies are dumb.

It is cheap

>release minimum effort port
>free money even if it gets pirated
please stop posting these garbage threads pretending to be retarded, you know fully well why they get ported

>Why do developers even bother to make PC ports?
Because it makes money.
>PC ports normally sell 100k copies while in the Playstation they sell millions.
Where are you getting these numbers from?
>Also PS protects games from piracy.
In what particular way?

>free money
Not worth it.
>Where are you getting these numbers from?
Common sense.
>In what particular way?
Do you live inside a bubble? You can't pirate games on PS4 or 5, and even on the PS3 it was a bit of a pain in the ass for a long time.

Why would Japanese devs want to deal with Sony a company thats been fucking them over for years when they can instead release their games on the Switch or PC? Hell, even Microsoft is getting chummy with them.

Stop just stop
Why clutter

>Common sense.
Show me credible proof or I’ll continue to think you’re pulling stuff out of a hat.
>Do you live inside a bubble? You can't pirate games on PS4 or 5, and even on the PS3 it was a bit of a pain in the ass for a long time.
I’ll give you that.

Depends on the game. Niche titles such as Souls games or MonHun World (Relatively niche compared to AssCreed or CoD for example) sell way way better on PCs than consoles.

Ah yes, a random fuckwad on Zig Forums knows more about business then multi-billion dollar corporations.
It's easy money. Piracy is not even that prevalent since the average normie does not know how to pirate.

A Genshin thread died for this.

Imagine being this jealous of free games....


.

DMC5 at least sold more on PC than it did XBOX IIRC. I think that's the case more and more.

Got any numbers for that? I know that Death Stranding seemed to be more popular on PC, but that may just be an exception.

because they've already made the game so may as well sell another 100k copies? how do you now understand this

>10 million Chinese and Koreans give Tencent Riot Games over a billion dollars every year

yeah so 100k people who would buy it on playstation pirate it on PC instead, great job.

>It sold 4.5M copies on PC when total was 12M
Currently it sold above 15M tho. As for Dark Souls you can just check out how bad Demon's Souls or Bloodborne sold compared to Dark Souls trilogy.

Why is pc even an option? I don't mind paying for a special box that's only purpose is to play corporate sanctioned entertainment products. What's even better is they keep making better ones each year, they really care about giving us quality hardware quickly. I hate the idea of messing with what a developer had painstakingly optimized and play tested for broad appeal. I have no real creative ability, so I don't mind that customization is impossible. I'll pay for the console, and the game, and the online fee, and the subsequent content pushed from release to monthly dlc packs, plus pre-order and special super duper mega big boy edition fees. If the game releases unfinished/untested, that's fine! I'm paying for a service after all, and games are getting so complicated and expensive these days I'm fine with waiting/paying more until the game is in a playable state.

I'm just a responsible citizen supporting entertainment I enjoy.

I know it's a bait, but I know people that ARE like this.

Moreover,
>PS protects games from piracy

They don't, it just takes longer

so one exception. good jog pc nigger..

If you read the rest of the thread, you’d also know that MH: World also sold like gangbusters.

Wait, you made a retarded nonsensical thread about PC and you didn't even have any idea about how some of the most famous titles sell on it? What a shocking surprise.
Fucking console underage kids, seriously.

>MH: World
of course, it's an online game. it doesn't count.

I’m not OP, though. I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate.

you'd be a fool to think that companies care about anything other than profits
a game like comander Keen is selling more on PC each year for decaded than a console exclusive does after the launch
PC gaming is a more secure stream of income

>famous examples aren't examples but "expections".
You are fucking retarded.
>inb4 lolol prove it
No, prove that those are exceptions, you utterly ignorant faggot.

You shouldn't pay for downloads

Netflix and spotify really turned the new generation into complete retards. Most don't know what a torrent is, let alone the basics of how it works

you're fucking retarded

>every fitgirl game repack has thousands of comments (comments, for the vast minority who bother to comment, not downloads)
>fitgirl is just one website among many, many others
Piracy on PC is insane. Very often PC games are more pirated than payed for I bet.
Thanks for proving my point.

Fitgirl is normalfag central so that thousands of comments is the most you'll see.

The data analysts has spoken, we can close the thread now. Oh, right, it's just an underage console warrior kid fucking pissed by PC success. Why, kid, why are you so attached to a useless plastic box?

>PC success
sell less than playstation, cope.

>How DARE you not pay for downloads!
I used to pay for games until Valve had their way. The tranny SJWs using Steam, GOG, EGS, etc, are nothing but console immigrants, why would I financially reward that?
Why are you console immigrants attached to useless anti-consumer console wannabe platforms that charge for downloads when piracy does the same but in a superior manner and without having to financially reward being charged for a download which itself is a negative but comes with many other negatives?

Because his parents hate him and so he turned Sony into a sort of imaginary mom.

Bro, PC is only slightly behind consoles as a whole and "consoles" is divided between PS, Xbox and Nintendo...
