Any possibility of COTG on PC in near future?

[Press Slam]

Sorry if this topic may be old or repeated in some way. I have been away from the game over the summer and have lost contact with the site but my interest has returned since my PC has been back up and running.
I enjoy COTG very much and got back into it first by pulling out some old playing cards and making some random matches, I soon found myself wanting to start a fed but the idea was greeted pessimistically due to amount of time it would take as well as having the uninterupted space to play in, then I stumbled on e-cotg through a link on this site which offered a new lifeline to my fed becoming a reality. I soon added my GWF characters into the game and invested in Legends and Rematch, now I had 2 feds running!! Over time I put more emphasis and interest in the LWF mainly because I know I can keep up with the sets (although I am running behind at the moment), I also know that it would mean purchasing quite a number of GWF and CPC sets to get to the current year and I don't think I could find anymore space to put them (I have books, videos etc overflowing out of cupboards and desks) but if it were available in an official PC game as well then I would consider going down that road of purchasing each edition. The big problem at the moment with e-cotg is that there are a few bugs and considering that individual cards can come with speacial stipulations it can mean that these can't be used in the game but I'm just greatful to be playing at the moment.
After the long winded explaination my question is do you have plans or have given any serious consideration to bring out an official PC game?
I do understand that the cards are still the hardcore way of playing and should still be the way it should be played if possible (although in my experience I haven't noticed that much, if any difference in enjoyment from playing on e-cotg) I also understand that there are true fans of the game who hold the cards as something sacred to them but others in the same position like myself should surely have a choice. I must admit I was very suprised when I first visited your site after years away, first because it was still going strong which is great but also because there hadn't been a PC version released yet.
Anyway I hope to hear a reply soon.

There are currently two different PC versions of COTG available, both of them free.

This is where you can find one of them, a pretty good one I might add.

Lots of people have asked about a PC version over the years and I've let this slide. There are no plans anytime soon. I find it hard to get motivated on this subject for some reason.

Some fans have approached me with their ideas and I've given them my permission to move forward unless the PC version somehow can replace the cards and dice version in which case I'd have to say no. But if it complements the game, then great.

I'm fine with people creating stuff that's COTG influenced or related as long as they inform me in advance and they don't sell it for profit. After that all bets are off.

Maybe someday we'll put out an official PC version...I've been saying that for a while though. It's a project I wouldn't want to personally spearhead...so if you hear about any good leads let me know.

Thanks for being open to the idea Tom. I'm not a computer guy (in the technical sense) so I don't know anyone who could do it but it would make sense if it came from somebody who played the game, then the game could be made with the long time standing COTG fans opinions, preferences and values in mind.
I respect and fully understand your comment on making sure it didn't take over the cards but complimenting them because even from my point of view with the kind of history this game has and the special affection some fans have towards the cards I wouldn't want it to be taken over, it would be sad to see it happen. In fact one of the great things about COTG that I remember from when I first bought it was how economical it was to purchase a game with such potential for unlimited creativity.
I want to see an official PC version which could allow for the purchase of official Filsinger game edtions available to download straight into the game. It may sound lame to some people but if you could see my room (not in the untidy sense) you would see how I don't have the space, there are books, personal belongings etc. spilling out of cupboards not to mention mountains of stuff on desks, it may seem trivial to some but for me it is a real issue and there for having the option to purchase editions to be available to download straight onto my computer resolves that problem entirely. Playing COTG on e-cotg (wth all its bugs) resolves one issue which is the convenience of being able to play and have the computer automatically take in data to set rankings etc. this at least makes me grateful that I can have my own fed and play for the time being.

It would be sweet if the game worked OFF the original! In other words, look at it like this:
You decide to order 2096, and you get the Deluxe Set (includes the cards, and the PC material for that year). Each card now has a bar code on the very bottom, which holds all the card back information for that wrestler. Get the card, scan the barcode, and the wrestler is now in your PC game! I've been awake for the past 24 hours, so right now, it sounds like a killer idea...of course, so do refridgerators.

I really like this idea. Also once you buy other sets you can get updates with the codes to add to the oringal game such as with buying new cards for your game. But of course at a higher cost.
