Games don't sell very well on PC. Look at Crysis.

Because pc is based.

PC community is more picky and will pirate your shit if you put out garbage and just say "Eat it up losers". On consoles most customers just take whatever they can get and have lower standards.

Not viable since most pcs are shit. You will literally never, and I mean NEVER see a AAA Japanese pc exclusive.

Way back in the day, EA used to release Madden games on PC. Total lack of optimization.

Exclusives are system sellers. You can't shill for a system that can range anywhere from a toaster to a nasa computer. For a while it looked like raytracing could be a way to tell people to buy pcs but it's on consoles too so no.

Vast majority of gamers play games mostly on consoles. It's also more difficult to pirate a console game than it is to pirate a PC game.

Is SC2 AA?

because why would there be? companies want to maximize their profits and porting is usually easy enough that profits from sale on another platform exceed it multiple times. On PS/Nintendo which are closed environments the companies profit from hardware sales, so they pay companies to make products exclusively which makes the target audience buy their console and not the competitor's. PC is an open platform not owned by one company so there is no reason to pay game devs to release it only on PC. There is only this retarded "store front exclusivity" practiced by EGS lately, but barely anyone cares.
