Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

As a publisher, we would like to deliver it to PC users as well, but per our agreement with Vanillaware, we are only releasing on console. In other words, there are no plans to port it to PC currently.

That’s from the game’s producer at Atlus. If the publisher wanted to get a PC port, they would have found the money to do it (or found a third-party to manage the port if Vanillaware wasn’t willing/able). Per the quote, Vanillaware themselves do not want it on PC - nothing about not being able to afford to port it or anything like that. This tracks with how they’ve never released a single game on Windows aside from an MMO they made for Square Enix almost 20 years ago, before they were even known as Vanillaware.

Vanillaware just doesn’t have any interest in PC, and while that’s quite frustrating, it’s their prerogative.

This device is not for sale; it has been developed for Skull and Bones promotion only.

😠

i just want to know how people think this could work in a way that balances out

They don’t. They just think content is generated in a vacuum and it’s their right to consume it in whatever way they see fit.

They’re still doing it, albeit in a slightly pared back fashion.

Not really good enough, honestly. Backpedal further, guys, you’re almost there.
