Windows Games
In June 2009, EA Sports announced that for 2010, the games Madden NFL, NCAA Football, NASCAR, NHL, NBA Live, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour would not be shipped for Microsoft Windows. The NCAA football series hadn't been released on the PC since 1998, The Tiger Woods series last PC game was the 2008 version, the NASCAR series hadn't had a PC version since NASCAR Sim Racing in 2005, and the Madden series last PC game was the 2008 edition as well. The NHL series last PC game was the 2009 edition. Likewise, NBA Live 08 was the final PC version. The head of EA Sports at that time, Peter Moore, cited piracy and the fact the "PC as a platform for authentic, fully-licensed, simulation sports games has declined radically in the past three years as the next generation consoles have attracted millions of consumers."
The company noted that the FIFA and FIFA Manager series would still be released for the PC platform.

Famous quotes containing the words windows and/or games:
“I know some lonely houses off the road
A robber’d like the look of,—
Wooden barred,
And windows hanging low,”

“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
