Trim the sails, batten down the hatches, and shiver those timbers, PC<\/a> gamers – it’s quiz time! Please mark the correct answer with an X.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft has confirmed that its post-apocalyptic romper I Am Alive probably won’t be coming over to PC because:<\/p>\n

[\u00a0 ] Piracy
\n[\u00a0 ] Piracy
\n[\u00a0 ] Piracy
\n[\u00a0 ] Piracy
\n[\u00a0 ] Lol, piracy<\/p>\n

Now it’s over to Ubisoft<\/a>‘s own Stanislas Mettra for the big reveal…<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve heard loud and clear that PC gamers are bitching about there being no version for them,” he told IncGamers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“But are these people just making noise just because there\u2019s no version or because it\u2019s a game they actually want to play? Would they buy it if we made it?<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s hard because there\u2019s so much piracy and so few people are paying for PC games that we have to precisely weigh it up against the cost of making it. Perhaps it will only take 12 guys three months to port the game to PC, it\u2019s not a massive cost but it\u2019s still a cost. If only 50,000 people buy the game then it\u2019s not worth it.”<\/p>\n

So, basically, instead of 50 000 people buying the game, nobody gets to buy the game. BUSINESS SCIENCE!<\/p>\n
