No EndWar PC right now because of piracy?
The game's creative director Michael de Plater states, "To be honest, if PC wasn't pirated to hell and back, there'd probably be a PC version coming out the same day as the other two. But at the moment, if you release the PC version, essentially what you're doing is letting people have a free version that they rip off instead of a purchased version. Piracy's basically killing PC." Of course that doesn't explain why another major Ubisoft release, Far Cry 2, is indeed coming out on the PC on the same day as the console versions.

Another whining developer who doesn't understand the problem. Or maybe he is just copying Cliffy B.
PC pirates won't just run into the store and buy the console version! So, by releasing PC versions later they won't have much more sales of the console versions but they will have less sales of the PC version. Posted at 3:21AM on Oct 9th 2008 by ahac
How many idiots are going to keep up this line of logic? There is sh*tloads of piracy on consoles, and shitloads on PC's.
Then again, Ubisoft makes shitty games so who cares. let them ignore us PC gamers. Long live Blizzard, long live Stardock.
Assassins creed for PC still doesn't work well. They never fixed the huge bugs. Why would I ever buy another ubisoft game?

This is just another way that legitimate PC game buyers get screwed by scumbag pirates. How f*cking hard is it to pay for the f*cking media you consume? If you can't afford it or don't want to pay then don't play the f*cking game.
