Computer games?

If all video games are developed in a computer, then why don't the developers just go right ahead and release them on the pc? It's already made on it, then how hard can it be to release it on the pc?Computer games?
A lot of them DO. It's called 'downloadable games'. If you look up individual small developers you'll find that as soon as the game is done, you can download it and play it.



However, finishing a game and putting it on your website doesn't get you as many customers as putting it in a box and putting it in stores where people who don't already know the game exists might find it. And it takes time to get it there (and not everyone can get a retail deal)



Or do you mean, why are console games not immediately released on PC? Well, with older consoles at least, the television resolution was much worse than the computer monitor resolution, so the graphics have to be redone. Also the control schemes are different (most PCs don't have joysticks) and people playing PC games want to be able to save more often than console gamers. So the game has to be reworked some to make a good PC version. And not all companies bother making PC versions because there is so much piracy - they figure their work would be wasted because so many people steal.Computer games?

Some times when games are designed they are made specifically for a system. Just because a game is made on a computer doesn't mean it is compatible for a PC.
