Split screen is less and less common in PC games (it used to be quite common in the 90s).
One of the big reasons (IMO) is that PC owners typically only have one mouse, and games are using more and more keys making it awkward to share a keyboard between two players, let alone more than that.
Of course PC games also allow keypads, but the people using those are probably a minority...
