“Not Enough Value In PC Gaming”, Says Publishers Of Double Fine

Double Fine’s Tim Schafer, maker of cult-hit Brutal Legend, has said that the reason why his games aren’t being ported to the PC is because publishers think there isn’t enough financial reward.

Writing on the studio’s official site, Tim Schafer said: “As a developer we do not have final say in the sku plan for our games,” he began.

“That is the decision of the person investing the money, i.e. the publisher.”

“We have much of the technology in place to produce PC versions of all these games, but there is still some more work required to make them shippable and that costs money.

“So far, our publishers have not elected to fund that work. Not because they hate PC Gamers, but because they don’t see enough financial reward.”

He still believes in PC gaming:

“If we ever get super stinking rich here, with enough money to fund PC versions of our games, then we will go back and make them ourselves!”
