I guess there's more money in it. With stardew valley it should be quite easy too so they might as well.

Is there something wrong with it?

So more people will buy them. That seems pretty obvious, you must not be very smart.

Because multiplatform games are becoming a thing, it's about time. The only thing that should keep a game on PC is a control system too complex for a controller. Exclusives, even to PC are anti-consumer if the developer has more than enough resources to release the game for other systems.

Because stuff like that is easy as fuck to port so it's easy money. And these days not everyone has any kind of computer, many normalfags I know sold theirs because all they used it for was facebook anyway but now there's smartphones for that.

this, there isn't really any reason for exclusives.
>>
>>336340087
So are PCcucks gonna pretend they didn't like this game now?
>>
Developer said that a long time ago. Better question is how many more PS4 games are going to be multiplat?
>>
Because PC "exclusives" are only "exclusives" because the dev either feels like the game wouldn't work on consoles or doesn't want to put in the effort to port it.
Consoles have exclusives because the console manufacturer keeps throwing money at developers.

Like Soulsfags when DS2 came to PC?
>>
It doesn't cost money to get a devkit for PC

So you release your game on PC, if it does well enough a console manufacturer will help you bring it to their platform
