There's plenty of gamers out there who'd be more than a little interested in getting their hands on a PC version of Bungie's upcoming shooter, Destiny. Sadly they won't get the chance as there's no current plans to bring the MMO shooter to the platform. Instead the game's shipping early next year on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

In an interview with IGN, senior writer and Bungie community manager Eric Osborne has been discussing the challenges of developing for four different platforms, and how that's impacting the decision regarding a potential port to PC. "It's a huge challenge to ship four platforms and a massive opportunity to reach a new audience," he said.

"We know there are a lot of people out there asking for PC and we know that there are a lot of gamers that would willingly give us money," he continued. "But what we have to do is make sure we're focused enough to bring a good experience to any platform that we ship on. What we 100 percent are not going to do is spread ourselves so thin that it negatively harms the other platforms. So right now we have the four platforms, which is a lot to focus on."

Would it be better to add more polish to console versions of the game and let PC gamers miss out entirely? The jury is still out on that one. We'll just have to wait until next year to find out, while PC owners will have to keep their fingers crossed that once the console versions are out the door, Bungie starts working on bringing the game to PC.
