CliffyB on Gears of War 2 for PC

Bleszinki told the website that there are no plans for a PC version. “Here’s the problem right now,” he said, “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.”

I can speculate about the real reasons Epic would do this, like, millions of dollars from Microsoft to keep it on the console only. To actually come out and say that the smart people who can build a gamer PC and have the wherewithal to do it will just pirate your game is pretty insulting. Way to drive another nail into the coffin of PC gaming!

Cliffy? You want to say that Xbox players which are playing GoW2 aren’t smart enought to use torrents ;) .

I have good pc and i have original GoW PC. I’m not pirating because i know that is stealing in fact.

Good for you, Fartuess! Show CliffyB not all gamers with a hopped-up PC are jerks.
