No Madden 09 On PC? Blame Pirates

gianteveilpetermoore.jpg So, why was it PC owners aren't getting a version of Madden this year again? Oh, yes, of course. Piracy. EA Sports boss Peter Moore explains:
Piracy's a big issue on the PC. I can't turn a blind eye to the fact that it's very difficult for us...and we lose money making a game. At some point, I have an obligation not to bring out products that lose money.
OK, developers, we get the idea. Piracy is an issue with the PC games market. It's also obviously a new trend, and has in no way been affecting the market for, oh, the last 20 years, so we believe your excuse wholeheartedly.

Brett Favre Is Not A Madden Fan

A few months ago, I spoke with EA Sports' Chris Erb about Madden. Guy said that every year they had "100 guys calling us, begging to appear on the cover". So it's odd that when settling on a cover star for Madden 09, they went not for a player who's Madden crazy, but a guy who positively bah humbugs the thing.
I'm not savvy enough to play this game. Most of the younger generation has no idea [Madden] coached...Some of our guys play Madden better than they play on Sundays. And they spend more time talking about playing Madden.
Guess Brett won't be helping promote the game much, then.

Hey Look, It's Brett Favre On The Cover Of Madden

Retired Packers QB Brett Favre has just wrapped up an appearance on Letterman, during which it was indeed announced that, yes, he'd be appearing as the cover athlete for this year's version of Madden. Well...cover guy. Anyway, here's the cover. This would be where we'd make another joke about the Madden Curse, but won't, because remember kids: the curse ain't real.
