@PrincessKaoru Are you talking about saves or owned packs? For saves, each console and the PC/Mac versions use entirely different file formats for saves, none of which can be read by the other platforms. Changing that now would mean reprogramming the game, and it would also mean that older saves would no longer be compatible on the platform(s) where the save file format was changed. I would guess that most players would object to their old saves becoming inaccessible.
As far as owned packs are concerned, it's just a question of money. The console manufacturers take a cut of sales of any games released on their platforms, so EA would probably need to pay to allow PC users to play on XBox or Playstation. That's never going to happen. And EA wants its full share for the PC/Mac version, not the reduced portion it receives for console-based content.
