Why boring games for the PC?

Because while shooters are fun to play they're boring to watch. Conversely, football and racing have immediate real world analogies and lend themselves to media coverage and audiences.

Did I ever mention that Trackmania is also free?

There is also the issue of how you balance it - I expect that for Fifa you will all be using exactly the same team

It's free? I might have to give it a go then.

Additionally, these are all games that lend themselves to a 1v1 format - a shooter really doesn't.
