    Im really sick of people saying no one plays sports games on PC or questioning why they do. Why the hell do people play shooters on consoles?

    Heres the deal, EA has basically shut down its PC EASPORTS development. Madden is now gone, and FIFA is just a PS2 last gen port, i wouldnt be suprised if FIFA left PC forever aswell. Does this mean sports games dont make a profit on PC? well if anyone wants to check sales figures (outside of the USA) games like Pro Evolution 2008 sold really really well on PC. There is a profit to be made, a big one. But EA has basically thrown in the towel on porting to PC :(
