Those of you loyal PC fans still holding out hope that Bungie would see the light of day and launch their co-op shooter MMO Destiny onto the platform, sadly the news is that you should probably stop hoping. At least, that is for now.
In a recent interview with
IGN, Destiny senior writer and Bungie community manager Eric Osborne has re-confirmed that PC players won't be getting their own version of the game, while still refraining from giving a firm "no". The reason? Bungie just don't have the resources.
"We know there are a lot of people out there asking for PC and we know that there are a lot of gamers that would willingly give us money, but what we have to do is make sure we're focused enough to bring a good experience to any platform that we ship on," Osborne stated.
"What we 100 percent are not going to do is spread ourselves so thin that it negatively harms the other platforms. So right now we have the four platforms, which is a lot to focus on."
While some may argue that chasing platforms that are soon to be outclassed by the next-gen consoles instead of releasing on PC is a bit odd, others would argue that a playerbase with many millions of customers already in place is probably a good market strategy. At least we know that it maybe one day in the future PC players will get a chance at the Bungie action, but for now it seems to be a firm "no" for launch.
