Ubisoft creative director：‘Piracy’s basically killing PC’

While speaking with videogaming 24/7 about a PC port of Tom Clancy's End War, Ubisoft Shanghai Creative Director Michael de Plater had some harsh words for PC gaming: "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 [Xbox 360 and Playstation 3]. 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. 

Ouch. With games like Crysis, CoD 4, and WoW all selling well on the PC, I'm still not convinced that piracy is as rampant as these industry executives would have you believe.
