"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. Therefore, high-end video games are suffering very much on the PC.

So piracy was a main point for you...

Right now, it makes sense for us to focus on Xbox 360 for a number of reasons. Not least PCs with multiple configurations and piracy.

But when the dust has settled, is there any possibility of Gears 2 on PC?

No.

Definitely not?

No."

Cliff, the very same savvy people you are inferring to, the ones that are avid PC gamers, people that are willing to pay top dollars to upgrade their video card in order to play your game, and play it smoothly, is ALSO savvy enough to know how to mod an Xbox360 in order to play pirated games on it, AND know where to find the torrent of those pirated Xbox360 games ta boot (hell.. they probably know how rip them also). The ones that are not so savvy, they know enough about where to go, or at least know how to search for ways in order to get it done for them. Remember: where there's a will, people will find a way, both savvy people, and those that aren't.

If you want to get away from piracy, Cliff, develop for the PS3. As of now, it has none. But you better hurry, cuz that is sure to change very soon.
