Okay am I missing something? Why do people suddenly think this is a thing that's done. Can you name even one other PC game with split screen?
It can't be done, because it's a horrible idea.

Seems to be over one hundred. Most recent being Black Ops III.

It CAN be done, and it's not a horrible idea if you have friends who would like to dive into it with you.
The PC is much more capable than consoles, I don't see the negativity towards it.
I understand PC is usually meant for single players, but with the advent of gaming PCs, and being able to play these games on a TV, it's not such a bad idea.- ApprovedAnonymous10 years ago
Most of those games aren't split screen. They're sharing a screen. Which is a massive difference and isn't a horrible idea. It heavily restricts what they can do because one player can't move on without the other player. In a shooter game it just wouldn't work.
And in the case of Black Ops III (god knows they don't have a decent split screen system) you need a second monitor. It's a horrible idea. PCs not exactly meant for singleplayer either, it's just not meant for two people to use one computer and play it via split screen.
Once more so you actually get it, it's a horrible idea.- 10 years ago
Then what makes a console much better for doing the same task? I understand a console is meant for multiplayer, but come on, just because it's a PC doesn't mean it cannot do the same thing.
Blur is an actual split screen game. It's like a mario kart on steroids.
- 10 years agohonestly the pc is already in our living room at home. there are a couple racing games and fighting games my son and i can both enjoy on the same pc, sitting on the couch, on a big screen tv. only reason its not in the game is laziness, especially considering the consoles have it; even in the last game.

I'm really mad by PvZ GW 2 not having this option on PC. They already have it on consoles, so why not PC?
What you're missing is that someone thinks PCs are just PCs. PCs can pretty much be anything and EA not giving support to split screen really gets on my nerves. 🙂

I just googled this to see if it was split screen on the PC so I could play with my kids. Got it for free on Origin Access. I just wanted to say that your attitude is * and if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Since your parents apparently forgot to tell you that * when you were growing up.
