New Report of the Week: Wii U and PC exclusive 'Ucraft' no longer exclusive



IN the recent week, developer at Nexis Games has announced that the recent failed Kickstarted campaign for his latest game has fallen through and has now announced that the once Wii U and PC exclusive, Ucraft, will now be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One.

  
     Many Nintendo fans have shown their outrage at the decision, however, Nexis Games defends their/his decision to turn the game into a multiplatform game, “In the gaming community when a title is set to be exclusive for one Platform, Platform holders normally provide financial assistance to developers. This is done because of the massive amount of revenue developers lose by skipping other Platforms, unfortunately this is not the case for UCraft as it is being developed and funded entirely by Nexis Games (Me) and sadly I am not rich. When we made this decision we had no idea that Nintendo owners would care so much about UCraft going Multiplatform as long as it made it still made its way to the Wii U. We are not 100% against the idea of keeping UCraft on the Wii U/PC but in order for that to happen we will need your help. If there is enough interest we will consider relaunching another UCraft Kickstarter to keep UCaft exclusive to the Wii U.”

     The statement was made after the announcement of the now Multiplatform game sparked outrage from Nintendo fans. This could mean that Nexis Games might see less sales even from the other consoles has PS4 and Xbox One owners and not interested in the game. The game was meant to be a replacement for Minecraft on the Nintendo Wii U, even though the game was also coming to PC, this was because of the recent purchase of Mojang Games by Microsoft in early November.

      We should hear more from the story as it continues.
