Before getting all mad about bad articles
That’s an interview, and none of their games came before, this is just the nail in the coffin for the optimists.

Before getting all mad about bad articles, this is probably more a case of vanillaware not being able to afford to port right now and wanting to focus on what they know. It’ll likely come later

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.
That’s from the game’s producer at Atlus. If the publisher wanted to get a PC port, they would have found the money to do it (or found a third-party to manage the port if Vanillaware wasn’t willing/able). Per the quote, Vanillaware themselves do not want it on PC - nothing about not being able to afford to port it or anything like that. This tracks with how they’ve never released a single game on Windows aside from an MMO they made for Square Enix almost 20 years ago, before they were even known as Vanillaware.
Vanillaware just doesn’t have any interest in PC, and while that’s quite frustrating, it’s their prerogative.
