Yeah, right. They said Gears 1 wasn't going to have a PC version, either. Bungie said that their next project after Halo 2 wouldn't be Halo 3. Game companies lie about their future plans all the time. Gears of War 2 will have a PC version, it'll just be after they've wrung all they reasonably can out of the 360 version. Mark my words.

The story in gears sucked. If you want to experience gears of war, get online and play against other people in some tactical team-based combat.
The co-op only lasts a few hours, so why are you focused on it so much? I've probably played gears more days than not since it came out and the versus remains a pretty solid experience.

On the contrary, for someone with a 360 and a PC, if they can pirate the PC version, they no longer need to buy it for the 360.
Yup, but the OP predicted that they'll do the PC port probably once they've sold most of the 360 copies they could have sold.
Once all the money that could be made by selling the "exclusive" has been earned, mayber then they re-compile the game for PC and see if they can catch a few more bucks easily.
