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:
“The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
