Moore Explains EA Sports PC Snub (Again)
Peter Moore still continues to try to explain the reasons that Electronic Arts’ sports division EA Sports is neglecting PC gaming.
He lamely used the following alibis:
- “Piracy is an issue.”
- “The PC as a platform for authentic, fully-licensed, simulation sports games has declined radically.”
- “The business model for PC games is evolving from packaged goods to a download model.”
Of course, Moore then contradicts himself and says:
That does not mean that we aren’t coming back next year with new, innovative, maybe even less-expensive ways to play all of our franchises on the PC, but for right now we are assessing all of the options open to us to shift the current paradigm for our games on this platform.
Anyone who uses “paradigm” to explain themselves, in my book, is full of brown fecal matter. Where’s Microsoft in all of this? They did have PC sports game titles like NFL Fever that were pretty good. A new Front Page Sports: Football would be nice, too. Get on the ball, publishers!
IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME.
