Ubisoft blames piracy for 'EndWar' delay
The delay on the PC version of Tom Clancy's EndWar is due to piracy on the platform, Ubisoft has revealed.

In an interview with UG247, creative director Michael de Plater stated: '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."

He said that releasing a PC version on the same day as consoles allows players to get a "free version" through piracy that damages the sales of the console releases.

EndWar is a real-time tactics game controlled through voice commands by microphone. It is set in a near future destroyed by a third world war.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will be released on November 7, with the PC version expected sometime next year.
