Who benefits exactly from a game being PC exclusive?
I'm seriously asking. I mean I get how MS benefits from having an XBOX exclusive or Nintendo benefits from having a Wii U exclusive, since they are focused on selling hardware as well, but who does a PC exclusive help? I mean, maybe Alienware or HP or Lenovo should fund some games to help them move hardware, but other than Valve, who do produce their own games (and still release most of them on other platforms), I don't get why a company would put an insane amount of resources into a product that is going to hit such a small segment of the whole video gaming market, other than of course specific genres designed for KB&M.
