Literally makes no sense. The consoles are virtually identical to a PC in terms of CPU and GPU architecture. The costs of porting would be virtually nothing.


It's also a lot easier to pirate off.

They are trying to support this DRM thing full force.

seems EA is making lots of new friends,especially with the superior pc master race.
Wonder wether fifa gamers have the same balls like sim city gamers or at least just one to bring EA down to their knees once again

on the other hand and according to some pc owners the high end pc's are so incredibly powerfull,no matter which engine they use(pong 1972)
the pc version will look superior anyway.

Isn't that the whole point of Origin?

As an investor I would have ripped EA a new one by now. Not necessarily because of their buisness decisions, but because of how they transported them.

I suppose EA has abysmal sales on the PC for their sports games.

It must be because the PC player base is too casual!

Only first party titles sell on PC.

This! It has to be. Just like the WiiU, the PC is too weak to run the new ignite engine!



Long Live SHIO!

DRM

Same reason Nintendo is blacklisted. Same gimped support Nintendo will get later for these contractual based franchises. Same reason I'll keep banning EA games.

Ps4/XOne have the DRM in place EA wants and has in Origin. Nintendo and many other PC purchases do not have that DRM.


That makes no sense as all EA PC games require Origin and they can use whatever DRM they want.

People actually play Sports games on the PC? lol jk

I can understand why they wont release their games on other platforms on the PC but wont this hurt Origin or should I say would not reap any benefits for it? o.o

I smell moneyhatting though not sure why but I guess they must of got paid a lot by Sony and Microsoft or whoever to focus on console releases ;o.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet that PS4 has the same "Pay for used" model the Xbox does.

Meanwhile pirating PC players will get a watered down old gen version.

Sure they have origin....

and Origin is easy as hell to crack... so would any other drm they try, heck there is an offline Sim City patch.

It's extremely easy to crack and hack PC games because the tool use use to do so... is also the tool you play the game on.

Oh, and as far as origin is concerned. If it was on steam, I probably would own the new Sim City right now. As before it was released by big struggle was "Damn i really want this game, but Origin is horrible."

PC as powerful as Wii U confirmed.
