Ubisoft Delaying EndWar PC Launch Due To Piracy Issues

October 08, 2008

According to an interview on videogaming247 with Ubisoft Shanghai creative director Michael de Plater the PC version of Tom Clancy’s EndWar probably won’t hit shelves alongside the console versions for fear of cannibalizing PS3 and Xbox 360 sales. “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 the PC.”

De Plater and Ubisoft remain committed to releasing a version of EndWar for the PC, it’s just not clear exactly when. Console jockeys will get the chance to command troops in the first ever voice-controlled real time strategy title when it hits November 4.
