Brink boss: PC-only sales cannot "justify" triple-A budgets

UK-based Splash Damage got its start as a modding house founded by hardcore PC gamers who made games for hardcore PC gamers.

The studio is responsible for the popular 2001 mod Quake 3 Fortress, and has since developed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and the 2008 online shooter, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, among other releases.

But while Splash Damage has its roots in hardcore PC gaming, the studio has had to adapt to a market that is highly-focused on console gaming. "About two or three years ago we realized that we really wouldn't survive if we only made PC games, since purely making PC games was incompatible with our goal of making triple-A games, said Splash Damage head Paul Wedgwood.
