这个新闻让我想起以前的一个新闻,2010年Epic也说过PC平台赚不到钱了,
要出走到TV平台了,现在PC平台被救起来,又开始赚钱了
于是Epic现在大概是决定回来整碗端走,简直就像维京人一样,很屌
当年的新闻:
=============================================================================
Epic’s Mike Capps has put out some candid statements on the direction of the
studio, saying PC piracy forced the firm into console development
“If you walked into [Epic’s Offices] six years ago, Epic was a PC company.
We did one PS2 launch title, and everything else was PC. And now, people are
saying ‘Why do you hate the PC? You’re a console-only company’,” the boss
told Edge magazine.
如果你六年前走进Epic办公室,你会发现Epic是个PC游戏公司,我们做过一个PS2的游戏
,但是其他的都是PC游戏。但是现在大家都会问:你们是讨厌PC嘛?怎么你们变成了只做TV
游戏的公司了?
“And guess what? It’s because the money’s on console.
你猜呢?因为TV平台才有办法赚钱
“We still do PC, we still love the PC, but we already saw the impact of
piracy: it killed a lot of great independent developers and completely
changed our business model.
我们依然爱PC平台,但是我们已经看到了盗版的冲击,盗版不但扼杀了一堆很棒的独立工
作室,还改变了我们游戏界的型态
“So, maybe Facebook will save PC gaming, but it’s not going to look like
Gears of War.”
所以,也许脸书可以挽救PC游戏市场(?),但是战争机器做不到。
Giant shocks, there. Epic’s heading for a proper Gears 3 reveal at E3; don’t
expect a PC version.
战争机器3将在E3展出,别奢望会有PC版本。
============================================================================
好了,Metro现在威胁说如果他们觉得PC版赚太少,那以后他们干脆不要出PC版了
我能说什么呢?我甚至无法抵制他们(因为我本来就不打算买)
不过我个人还是觉得我可不能因为被威胁就跑去买游戏就是了
所以他们还是干脆点,赚不到钱就去TV平台赚个爽就好
又不是没厂商这样,女神异闻录那一家公司就好像上PC会死一样,但在TV也是赚得很爽呀
我也只是摸摸鼻子放弃而已
不要像Epic一样当年抛弃了PC,现在又跑回来好像什么都没发生过一样想捞钱
话说Epic该不会捞不到就又一走了之吧,可怕
