EA To PC Gamers: No Madden 09 For You

If you prefer to play Madden on a PC rather than a console, get used to updating those rosters by hand.

EA Sports announced on Tuesday -- and it appears this was not an April Fools joke -- that they would not publish a PC version of Madden 09 and plan to produce only console versions from here on out. EA developer Peter Moore wrote on his blog that it was simply a business move and that EA would look for other ideas for PC football games in the future.

Translation: NFL Head Coach will probably shift to PC. You can just sense our pal MJD's excitement at that, can't you?

On a business level, I understand the decision, but the end result is that the most in-depth version of Madden on the market is disappearing, and because EA has exclusive rights to the NFL and NFLPA licenses, nobody will be producing a new NFL game for PC this year -- an unfortunate hole in the gaming market? Or is this a sign that all sports games are becoming console-only? Are PC gamers too busy fragging each other in Unreal Tournament or leveling up in World of Warcraft?

What do you say, PC gamers? Will you miss Madden for PC? Or are you still playing with hacked Tecmo Super Bowl ROMs on NES emulators?
