EndWar Coming to PC After Console Versions Due to Piracy
October 8th, 2008 by Rajiv Ashrafi in Action, PC, PlayStation 3, Strategy, Xbox360
Having noted that a PC version of EndWar is likely, creative director Michael de Plater has now stated why they won’t be releasing the PC version of the game until after the console versions are out: PIRACY.
"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. "The level of piracy that you get with the PC just cannibalizes the others, because people just steal that version.”
“Piracy’s basically killing PC,” Plater plainly stated.
The PS3 and Xbox 360 editions of EndWar are scheduled for release November 7.
