Ubisoft: Piracy's basically killing PC - briefly
(hx) 04:04 PM CEST - Oct,08 2008 - Post a comment / read (3)
Ubisoft Shanghai creative director Michael de Plater has told VG247 that a PC version of EndWar would most likely be shipping alongside the console SKUs if it wasn't for rampant PC piracy, and that copyright theft is essentially destroying the PC games market. The game will be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 7.
"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," he said, talking of the voice-controlled RTS.

"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."

We asked if piracy was the main reason to keep EndWar off PC.

Lack of any decent DirectX updates and shit versions of Windows is what's killing PC gaming market.

I always thought it was the awful dross that developers like Ubisoft shovel out that had a negative impact on PC gaming, oh well guess I learned something. :roll:

Too true, dev's don't know if they are coming or going with window$.
XP could have still been a healthy gaming platform for years without the release of Vi$ta.
Dx10 hardware for what difference over Dx9 -apart from some cute effects.
What a mess!
I'm buying EndWar for PS3 (or probably renting it 8) )
