Ubisoft’s I Am Alive will not be getting a PC release alongside its console versions. The reason, according to I Am Alive‘s creative director Stanislas Mettra, is PC piracy. On the topic of PC piracy, Stanislas Mettra stated: “It’s hard because there’s so much piracy and so few people are paying for PC games that we have to precisely weigh it up against the cost of making it.”
