NBA Live 11 PC Petition

[Pared]

It's a tough sell at this point. People aren't buying the 360 and PS3 version, and NOW you're going to try and sell them that a PC version would benefit the series.

If they do it, it won't be for profit. That's for sure.

Pared the discs aren't expensive and we have digital distribution, so why would they not want potential extra income?

Do you KNOW how huge www.nba-live.com is? It's got thousands.

you still have to pay people to port it over and add other touches to the game. Thats still time invested. Then you need to promote it a little bit, thats more money. There isnt anyway you can realistically sell it for 50 bucks when 2k is 20 bucks.

I just dont think its a road EA is willing to take in this economy. Its stupid business.

The PC community was a lot larger than just NBA Live Series Center there were multiple sites/communities it started to die out after Live 06.

I understand the size of the modding community. I've actually been a good part of it (well, at least for baseball).

However, stop thinking like a fan and someone who wants the game. The 360/PS3 versions sold terribly. Now we expect them to take a terrible selling game, convert it for play on the PC, include support for multiple devices, graphics cards, etc. and still make it a profitable venture? Not at all. The PC version will barely sell, others will pirate the game...

Not worth it. Put that money towards developing a solid game WORTH putting on the PC, not appeasing a couple of thousands who would buy the game regardless (considering they were the ones purchasing '07 on the PC, what a terrible game that was).

I was disappointed when EA pulled the PC version, 2K filled the void nicely, EA can keep their inferior hoops game. I played live on pc back when it was lakers vs celtics and lakers vs blazers.. 2K is king in hoops for now.

guess thats what happens when there is no "License monopoly"
