THey may not have released a game in half a decade and hence been overshadowed by other companies, but I don't believe for a second that ID Software has much trouble selling games on the PC. So I don't think that's an excuse for half-assing a title of Rage's stature. Ditto for Skyrim when it comes out, since the Elder Scrolls franchise has a dedicated following.

Yet that still doesn't change the fact that there are more console customers than PC customers. The question isn't if it sells or not, but the fact that PC gets drowned out by console products.
And as I say, the issue of PC pirating is really a non-issue when compared to console sales.
