PC snubbed yet again by EA, Madden 10 PC cancelled

Many of you may have already known this but I just heard. I was looking forward to Madden's return to the PC, and yet again screwed by EA. I hate this company with a passion and am seriously considering cancelling my Warhammer subscription over this. It's not just that they stopped putting it out, but their hostage taking of the NFL license keeps anyone else from putting an NFL PC game out as well. This gets me more than anything. Been playing football games on the PC since the old football pro series, screw you EA that you arerobbing me of that now.

I was checking the new releases and found this game was not included for PC its very disappointing indeed..

I have no idea why any one would one to play an EA PS2 port on PC.

Each to there own.........

I have travel the Galaxy and now a Lord, a Sith Lord. There are much more important commodities in the deepest of Space...

Frankly, I've never seen the point of sports games; I would honestly rather just play the real thing with a group of friend. To each his own though.

On topic, that is bad news... they made a semi-big deal about the games returning to PC didn't they?

Haha, I'm not a basketball person myself, just never really got into it. I would much rather play football or soccer.

This is bad news for the people anticipating the game, not necessarily me :P .

It is understandable why some would not get why I am angry over this. Undestand this, I do not and do not care to own a console. I am a PC gamer, I have been since 1993 and I will be until I do not care to be anymore. I have tried the console thing, was not for me. I have played football games on the PC since Football Pro 95 and that is how I like it. Period. As I said, I can understand that EA is making a business decision in that it may not be worth it to them to cater to the PC market when they make so much in consoles, why bother? My ultimate problem is their monopoly on the NFL license. If you don't want to make NFL football PC games anymore, fine, that is your business. To keep other companies from filling that void is plain wrong and it pisses me off.

My love/hate relationship with EA has been long standing, for years they were treating PC users like stepchildren by improving the console versions and giving the PC users the same old rehashed crap with a new roster. Now they cast us aside altogether.

Truth is, if they would never have teased us with the prospect of Madden returning to the PC this year this post does not get written. As if they had not screwed us enough they got us excited about Madden returning only to cancel right before release.

Screw you EA, I am going from submitting this post straight to cancel my Warhammer sub. Any future game I buy from this company will need to be irresistable.

sport games suck anyway so i don't see why it matters if you want sports go outside

I'm not a sports fan outside of actual sports, but when I play them... I prefer it on my console in a big high-def screen with friends. I would never consider buying one for the PC. Maybe I'm not the only one.

EA puts out sloppy PS2 ports instead of a dedicated PC game (or even a 360/PS3 port), and wonder why people don't buy it.

It's a mystery.

lol...let me know when you get into the NFL, ok?

^ I agree with this. Madden is definitely more suited to sitting next to a bud playing on a huge TV. Coke chips also help :Pdnuggs40

I don't mind, if I wanted to play EA sports games I'd pick up a 360 arcade or something. But I don't and neither do most PC only gamers, which is why they don't sell well on PC and why they have no obligation to keep making them.

I'd rather have EA concentrate on games that actually have a market on PC even if it means snuffing out stuff like Madden. Spore, Warhammer, Sims3, CnC4 are some of the biggest PC exclusives this gen so they've done good as far as I've concerned, even their ports have been hella good lately.

This is the truth.

[QUOTE="dnuggs40"]Is it they are treating us like a step child, or is it PC gamers are snubbing EA and their games? Judging by the responses in this thread, I'd say the latter. If EA could release the game on PC and make a profit they would...trouble is it doesn't seem like they can so they don't. If the reason is the games are crap (or PC gamers don't care about madden) and wouldn't sell anyways or is due to piracy can be debated...personally I believe the answer is somewhere in the middle.denter21

Even tho FIFA doesn't change much every year (except 09, that was a total overhaul), it's pretty much the best sports game they port on PC, PGA is good too but it's not that popular and NHL is crap, there was a time when I was a huge NHL fan, but after 05 I just couldn't take it, they made it worse every year at least they improve Fifa even if it's just a little.

My ultimate problem is their monopoly on the NFL license. If you don't want to make NFL football PC games anymore, fine, that is your business. To keep other companies from filling that void is plain wrong and it pisses me off.vfibsux

Expecting poor sales, EA pulls the pirating card. Nothing new.

Ea sports have been for the last few Madden games, porting poor console replicas instead of utilizing the PC's massive unlimited power. Unfortunately Microsoft/EA probably hopes PC gamers will spend money on the Xbox 360/PS3 consoles and shell out $60 bucks to play Madden 10. PC gamers should organize a boycott of all EA games no matter how popular they are.

Madden was never popular on PC. Never. You kinda set yourself up for the disappointment.mo0ksi

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"]Madden was never popular on PC. Never. You kinda set yourself up for the disappointment.dmb34

its still never been popular.

but its sad to see it go especially when 2k continues to support the pc. hopefully EA will lose its monopoly soon

i hate sports games.
