Ubisoft Pushes EndWar PC Version back To Minimize Piracy Effect

In a recent interview, Ubisoft Shanghai creative director Michael de Plater revealed that the PC version of Tom Clancy's EndWar will be released a while after the consoles versions to prevent PC piracy from "cannibalizing" on their sales.

"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," admitió.

"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."

"You know, the level of piracy that you get with the PC just cannibalizes the others, because people just steal that version", Michael concluded.
