Talking to Total Video Games, Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski discussed the absence of a PC version of Gears of War 2, citing piracy as one of their problems.

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

He elaborates on the matter, saying how anyone 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.”
