And next, all of the talent anybody cares about leaves the company?

Stalker is still PC only.

Obviously it didn't sell well enough for its publisher to decide to port it? :)

It's European-developed like Crysis, and the PC market is a lot stronger in Europe than the US; a significant percentage of PC-exclusive games are developed in Europe these days... American-developed PC exclusives are the ones that have faded the most. And yes, of course some exceptions can be found... but overall? I think it's blatantly, blatantly obvious that the PC market overall is a long way from where it was in 2000... not counting those online games (MMOs, etc) and European titles the PC market is almost completely dead, and that's really sad.

Here's one example of many...
Disciples I: 1999, developed in Canada
Disciples II: 2002, developed in Canada
Disciples III: 2007-8, developed in Russia
