Or maybe it's because PC games are too easy to pirate and Midway can't take the hit?

It can't be that, did you know that MAT: Deluxe is protected by Starforce, so unless the original CD or DVD is in the Drive the game will not play

And there are no cracks because of starforce. They would have to crack the game and Starforce.

Valid thought, but who'd want to steal it anyway? Cartridge games are already accessible through emulators and the newer games aren't worth the efforts.

Pirating affects the DS as well. I saw people playing UMK on the DS via a flashcart before the game made it to my area for sale.

There's probably fewer cases of piracy of MAT for the PC than UMK for DS. But that's also because on the PC, people willing to do illegal things can just play the arcade games themselves.
