"Here's the problem right now; the person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card, is a person who is savvy enough to know bit torrent to know all the elements so they can pirate software.

Why do they insist on killing PC gaming.

You didn't know this?

This was mentioned like... a year ago.

Epic said the first Gears of War would be a 360 exclusive and not come to PC. It sold really well and they made a lot of money, then they said "lol just kidding, coming to PC."
Rockstar said GTAIV would not come to PC because it was too awesome for PCs to handle. It sold really well and they made a lot of money, then they said "lol just kidding, looks better on PC anyway."
Ubisoft said Assassin's Creed would be a PS3 exclusive. Then they realised no one owns a PS3 and they wouldn't make any money, then said "all platforms, but PC a few months after so we at least make some money before it gets on bit torrent."

IT'S ALMOST LIKE I'M SEEING SOME KIND OF PATTERN.

Just because its not on the PC doesn't mean there will be less piracy. If you face the facts, its far cheaper for a normal person to buy an X Box 360 and use pirated games than it is for a normal person to buy a great computer and pirate games. Their logic is FAIL . :carl:

I could go out and buy a 360 for about 4000 pesos ($304.70) AT MOST. And get 3 pirated games (Gears of War 1&2 and Halo 3) for about 30 pesos (Less than 3 dollars).

But instead, having to buy a good computer to run top games takes around 900-1200 dollars (from scratch). Whats more, if I had this kind of money to buy a computer, I'd probably be buying original games. The only games I download or old games which I cannot find here or have been discontinued. So my concious isn't upset about it.

So, its far easier for people to pirate this game if its only on one or two platforms, by the simple fact that you've made it far easier to be played by more people.
Nothing to see here, move along.

What Jin said. It's not going to be on PC... until it's on PC.

Erm, Assassin's Creed was always an xbox360 title from its announcement on.

I've only seen it now. Still, developer Cliff Bleszinski's logic is kind of strange.
