Gears of War 2 for PC? Don't count on it!

Feeling a little chatty today, the guys over at IGN have fired up a quick Q&A with Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski regarding their highly anticipated third person shooter, Gears of War 2. The interview mainly covers Achievements and how they'll link up with the original game, but the "big" news is that they've decided against doing a PC port this time around. Here's the scoop:

Do you need to earn these Achievements in "Gears of War" on Xbox 360, or can you earn them in "Gears of War" for Windows?

Cliff You can unlock these characters in Gears 2 if you earn the Achievements in Gears 1 through Xbox 36 21d6 0 or PC, provided you are using the same Gamertag.

Does this mean you are planning a Windows version of "Gears of War 2"?

Cliff: Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we're focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We've decided we're not going to do a PC version this time around.

Not a huge surprise, but still sad news for those of us without 360's. :/
