Piracy is “Killing the PC” Asserts EndWar Director
Director of Tom Clancey’s Latest Game on Piracy
Today Ubisoft’s Michael de Plater announced how piracy is killing the PC as a platform. Now I was under the impressions that the only thing being affected by piracy is the Somalian coast, because this same argument has been put forth by developers for years and yet the gaming industry is thriving just as much now, if not more so than it was 10 years ago.
Along with the assertion Mr. Plater went on to state that “a potential PC version will not launch alongside its console counterparts as a result.”
Now this seems like a classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. There are many fans out there dying to play this game that simply refuse to play certain games on a console. Or do not own a console. Ubisoft is effectively punishing these customers as if they have some ability to stop the small percentage of software pirates out there.
This is really not anything new, but for this particular the title the argument has resurfaced yet again. For more information on the article checkout the full story at IGN.com.
