"Crysis developer and PC gaming evangelist Crytek may soon fly the flag of multiplatform solidarity, as company president Cevat Yerli revealed in a recent interview that the studio will no longer create games exclusively for the PC due to poor sales and game piracy that he says is \"encompassing Crysis.\" The comments were made as part of an interview with Croatian magazine PC Play, during which Yerli stated that \"I believe that's the core problem of PC gaming, piracy ... It was a big lesson for us and I believe we won't have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future.\" He added that while the company will continue to create games for the PC, these titles will not be released solely for that platform.Of course, this brings into question not only the oft-rumored PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 ports of Crysis, but also the game's planned trilogy of sequels. While Yerli wasn't asked as to the fate of subsequent games in the Crysis canon, he did comment that bringing Crysis \"as we have seen\" to consoles would be \"impossible,\" and that the game would have to be \"largely changed\" to be brought to either the PlayStation 3 of Xbox 360. We continue to dream of playing the game from the comfort of our couch, though Yerli's remarks that the company's focus \"is not linked to bring Crysis to consoles\" has a single high-def tear running down our cheek.[Via Team Xbox]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
