Crytek also has forgotten that they had competition, The Witcher, STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl, Gears of War PC version, and CoD 4 PC Version.
Funny is how The Witcher and STALKER Shadow of Cherynobyl outsold Crysis an CD Projekt and GSC World were more then satisfied with the sale they recieved the first year year and siad that would continue to develop making PC focused/exclusives.
STALKER SOC 2 million
The Witcher 1.5 million
Crytek was whining about piracy and saying that it's 100% the reason Crysis didn't sell so much and that if Crysis were on consoles it would sold 5-6 times more copies (Crysis sold 1 million first year). They talked about how singleplayer only/focused games on PC are dead a long with big budget games even though Big budget games really don't exist on PC a long with The Witcher, and the STALKER trilogy selling well. Funny The Witcher 2 launched as PC exclusive sold 400k excluding pre-orders in a weekI bet CD Projekt had their troll faces on when if they met Crytek. Which reminds me when Cevat Yerli and some guy from Ubisoft were whining about not getting CoD sales on PCeven though the reasons were obvious they said it was piracy and stuff then Tomaz GOP came and said this
"How do you know how many were pirated, how do you that the people who pirated it were going to buy it anyway if they had no alternative to get it for free. I don't putting in DRMS and what nots will help increase sales. Making good games will get you good sales and that's what people should focus on instead of these DRMs." and Thus The witcher 2 sold 400k it's first week pat on the back to CD Projekt.

I had already pointed out that CD projekt is fight piracy through legal force and thus acknowledge the problem of it. If you and your friends think they can run a bussniess than crytek than all means go for it. I can guraintee that you most likly to fail.CD Projekt is aware if but they weren't like crytek saying "OMG THE GAME DIDN'T 4 MILLION COPIES THE FIRST MONTH, I KNOW IT'S CAUSE OF THAT DAMN PC PIRACY." They already gained back most of the money they spent developing game soley on pre-orders. They weren't razy with the DRM like Ubisoft just securom limiting the game to be played on 5 pcs at once and limiting the install. They knew making a DRM free version on their store would rake insome cash so the honest gamers wouldn't have to deal with BS. Also since they decide to make X360 version does that mean because of piracy?? No they just want to expand their buisness now that their success on PC allowed them to grow. Do I care that it's going multiplat?? No because the PC version was developed respectfully. Try harder :roll:
