Epic Games president Mike Capps has revealed the studio’s focus on console development is as a result of widespread piracy on PC.
“If you walked into [Epic’s Offices] six years ago Epic was a PC company,” Capps told Edge. “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.'”
“And guess what?” It’s because the money’s on console.”
Capps explained that widespread piracy made the studio rethink its business.
“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,” he said.
Epic Games is currently working on Gears of War 3, while its People Can Fly Studio is working towards a Q1 2011 release for Bulletstorm.
