Noticing too many games released for ios, android and macs but not pc! It's weird

Some examples:
Asphalt 6
Flashout 3D
RC mini racers

Would really like to play these an others on pc. Never thought pc would lag behind macs in gaming content, but it feels like that is happening :(
What's the deal?

There are more better games I'm worried about right now. MGSV, Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, etc.

But to answer you, the reason is piracy. Indie devs. are having a hard time making money through PC platform hence they've jumped to PS4.

I think there's no need to alarmed .. many good games have only pc version or at-least feels and plays better on PC ;-) ios, android and macs and even consoles they are all good in their own aspect but nothing can and will ever beat pc gaming specially all those hardcore bad ass ( FPS mostly ) shooter games.
