I see there's the rebel pack and the upcomming super sport pack for xbox360 and ps3. But nothing for the pc version!
I guess even the cars of the million challenge will not be for us if the goal is reach.

I have not xbox 360 nor than ps3 and haven't enough money to buy one of them. So i only can have the pc version and for the present time it's seems to be a scam even if the game is good.

So i wish to know if you the devs have any futur plans for the pc gamers like me.

They've been severely lacking toward PC gamers throughout the entire release and while the game has been up and running. Overall I wouldn't expect too much.

And they "surely" value us PC gamers as much as other gamers on any other platform. Sure, CG and EA, you really do...

Ok, why are the Bugzilla linked messages deleted? Are they personal?

Anyway, I reported the missing DLC store from autolog and they replied:

"There are currently no plans to release additional content through a storewithin the game interface."

I guess they're waiting there's enough pc versions sold before doing anything about implementing new cars....... they are fixing bugs but even doing so it's so disappointing.

Hopefully the multiplayer is really good.

I guess that they don't give a damn about the PC players... but don't worry. The DLCs for Shift have been converted to PC, just wait and I'm sure we'll get the ones for HP on PC too.

The multiplayer is nice. Apart from some people who don't play as a team and some hackers, it's quite enjoyable.

A guy asked EA on their Twitter about the DLCs for PC, and you know what they've answered?

EA wrote:We value our PC fans very much. Limited resources prevent us from delivering content to all platforms.

My advice for Mr Sullivan: stop making those DLCs every week and concentrate on releasing the existing ones to all platforms, if you have THAT "limited resources"! Unless the term "limited resources" refers to your IQ...

EA and limited resources. Yeah, Right. And I am the Queen of England.

100% agreeing with tgomola. What are these "limited resources"? You have these for PC but don't have for the consoles? I thought you have saved all these resources to make a great PC game by not bringing out a PC demo! Guys, you are working for Electronic Arts, not for a small game company which nobody knows of!

- We don't get a chance to try this game out before even buying it --> absense of a PC demo (your limited resources for the full game which turned out even worse than the console versions)
- We are being forgotten concerning the DLCs

Yeah, you've been trying to fix all the issues. But why didn't you at least make a full game test before the release of the PC version, so no patch would be even needed if you fixed all these issues before the release? It's like really all the PC users are telling: the PC version was just a bad port from the consoles.

My advice is the same: Either release the DLC for all platforms or don't release any of them. Why not just release a DLC just for PC for example and see how things are going?

A funny thing is that they didn't have "limited resources" while they were developing the game for 3 platforms at the same time!

Hey all, unfortunately we will not be releasing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit PDLC for the PC. While we are certainly committed to providing the best possible game experience and ongoing support for our PC community, (as you have already noted) we have a limited amount of resources that makes it so that we are unable to deliver new content to all platforms. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but on the positive side we do have more updates and content on the way for PC players--look for news very soon.

Why don't you just stop developing all those DLCs and focus on converting the existing ones to PC? I see no logic in that.

I believe that is crap that there is a limited amount of resources allowed for creating DLC for PC i'd agree with Nintendo Wii but PC can be similar to Xbox 360 and PS3. I think the only reason why we PC gamers arent getting what we want is the fear of piracy. If this is the case why even make the game for PC cause you get gamers hopes up and we end up getting screwed in the end. This game is supposed to be the greatest racing game ever and if your going to screw the PC gamers your not giving the game its trademark that you created. If you can create more updates and content for PC im sure its not hard to create DLC cause that dont make sense at all. The day this game was released there was more news on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game then PC and Wii and i think thats just sad. Developers are supposed to develop and with that name your supposed to make something grade "A" and professional so far EA has been degrading that grade for PC gamers. I payed 60 dollars for this game for PC and i think the price should be dropped for the PC and Wii versions of the game if your going to make it the crappier port. Im sure others can agree and to make DLC for PC all the developers would have to do is make it available with that EA Downloader service so people can purchase it from there.
