Stanislas function of our, who, as creative director is working on I Am Alive, know that pc owners bitchen about the lack of a pc version of the game. That is not there, because a pc version due to piracy, too few would be sold.
Action game I Am Alive will appear sometime this winter as a download on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, made publisher Ubisoft at the end of september known. At the announcement of the game, in 2008, there was also talk of a version for the pc. That is not, however, argues Ubisoft’s Stanislas function of our. Piracy of pc games would not be worth the effort to make a pc version to develop, the creative director, although fans of the game ask for it. “We have heard loud and clear heard that pc gamers bitchen that there is no version for them,” says function of our in an interview with IncGamers. “But they go into the game to buy if we would make him?” he asks. “These people are just noise because there is no version for them appear, or because it is a game that they really want to play?”
Function of our suspicion that it is not profitable to make a pc version. “It is difficult because there is so much piracy and so few people pay for pc games. Therefore, we need to consider carefully whether it is well worth the investment to the pc version. Perhaps there are but 12-man need the game in three months to the pc can transfer. That is not a huge investment, but it still costs money. If the game then only 50,000 sold, is not worth the trouble.”
I Am Alive is made by the studio of publisher Ubisoft in Shanghai. The studio used the engine from Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, a game that for the pc appeared. Ubisoft Shanghai took over development of the French Darkworks, the game in 2009 would deliver. In 2009, Ubisoft made known however that the development was transferred to the private studio in Shanghai, and that Darkworks is no longer involved in the project. The expectation was then that I Am Alive by the first quarter of 2011 would appear. Ubisoft still has no new date announced, though the game probably until after the new year to purchase.
