Tim Schafer: Brutal Legend Skipping PC “Right Now”

Sometimes, crying is ok – like when a loved one dies or it’s your party. Bawling like a little girl, though? Well, that’s only permitted when Tim Schafer’s involved. Typically, of course, Mr. Schafer’s games turn on the waterworks by sending players into fits of laughter thunderous enough to awake even your newly deceased loved one. But now, he’s finally got us blubbering out of sincere grief. Why? Because Brutal Legend is a console exclusive.

Eurogamer asked Schafer why he’d make such a glaring omission, to which he replied:

“Well it's really an action game, that when you play it you'll see that it was meant to be on a console."

However, all hope isn’t lost just yet. While a PC version may not be in development at the moment, Schafer neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of such a port in the future.
 
“We are really focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 version right now,” he said.
 
Pray to the rock gods, people. It’s all we can do at this point. And if you think that’s sacrilege, well, look at it this way: The normal gods didn’t give you Brutal Legend on the PC. What have you got to lose?
