What can we do to get UFC 2 on PC?

Every time someone asks whether UFC 2 will be on PC, EA community managers answer "We have no plans for UFC 2 on PC, but we will share it in the future if there are".

So I ask, what do we have to do so that there ARE plans for UFC 2 on PC?

    Yet somehow it is not enough, it seems. So I'm asking for something we can do.


    You have to show there is a market for it. Brian Hayes actually commented on this, and basically said there just isn't enough demand for it. There is a petition going for it. Try and get as many people as possible to sign it. The 10,000 goal they set is in my opinion still too small of a number. Get the word out. People have been asking for this for a long time. The market just isn't there since this is a niche market. You are going to need likely over 50,000 votes for them to even take it seriously. I'm not trying to squash your hopes. I'm just being realistic. A PC version would cost money to port. So they need a good reason to do so. Luckily, the new consoles are close to a PC setup, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility. You guys are going to have to fight for it though. Sports games don't generally do as well on PC.

    Thanks for your post. I did remove that petition link though as we don't allow those here. Carry on.

    Sorry about that. I didn't even think about it, but do remember something about no petitions from the EA forums TOS. Just slipped my mind.
