Q. If all video games are developed in a computer, then why don't the developers just go right ahead and release them on the pc? It's already made on it, then how hard can it be to release it on the pc?
A. A lot of them DO. It's called 'downloadable games'. If you look up individual small developers you'll find that as soon as the game is done, you can download it and play it.
However, finishing a game and putting it on your website doesn't get you as many customers as putting it in a box and putting it in stores where people who don't already know the game exists might find it. And it takes time to get it there (and not everyone can get a retail deal)
Or do you mean, why are console games not immediately released on PC? Well, with older consoles at least, the television resolution was much worse than the computer monitor resolution, so the graphics have to be redone. Also the control schemes are different (most PCs don't have joysticks) and people playing PC games want to be able to save more often than console gamers. So the game has to be reworked some to make a good PC version. And not all companies bother making PC versions because there is so much piracy - they figure their work would be wasted because so many people steal.

Computer Game Lag!! (Slender)?
Q. Ok so my friend and I downloaded this game called "Slender" its a scary free downloadable game, that doesn't require internet connection or anything (No viruses). Now the problem is that we have to screen share too play together and i connect too her screen BUT the problem is whenever she tries too move around it lags really bad(even when she plays by herself with no screen sharing!) but mine works perfectly. So we decided to screen share using my screen & everything was going well until we got in the game, because on my screen it was working great no lag but on her screen she said it was still lagging even though she was screen sharing on MY SCREEN. I need to know how i can stop her screen from lagging PLEASE HELP! (ALSO REMEMBER THE GAME DOESN'T WORK EVEN WHEN SHE ISN'T SCREEN SHARING AND TRYING TO PLAY SOLO)
A. Her computer isn't powerful enough to run the game. It's as simple as that I'm afraid.
If it's a laptop, you're going to struggle. You can try lowering some graphics settings, as well as the resolution.
If it's a desktop, consider upgrading the graphics card primarily, and then look at improving your CPU and RAM if there's still no marked improvement (although your graphics card is by far and a way going to be the best single thing to upgrade).
Other than lowering the video/graphics settings within the game, as well as changing the in-game resolution, there isn't much more you can do, other than using a superior computer.
Sorry mate.
Hope this helps!
