Community ManagerThanks for reaching out. I appreciate you took the time to share your thoughts. As far as not having a PC version goes, this has to do with numerous reasons that have been detailed many times. Basically, there's a small hockey video game PC playerbase. There also is a very large cost associated with releasing and supporting the game on PC. We'd have to put less focus on the console version to release a PC version so the console version would most likely be held back. Hopefully, we'll see more advancements with cloud gaming so the console version can be played through PCs. That is probably more likely to happen before a true PC version is released.
That's why I also just asked if the NHL 94 game that's on playstation and Xbox could be brought over? That should be a whole lot easier than NHL 23 eh? It would give PC gamers an NHL game to play and maybe you'll see what the community is like on PC then.

If this happens, we'll make an announcement. At this time, I'm not aware of any plans for a PC release of any past or future EA NHL games.
- @EA_Aljo Please, for the love of god, let us have an NHL game on PC.
NHL 94 is better than nothing. PLEASE.
I will not pay for a monthly subscription on a console when I have a PC that I would MUCH prefer to play my games on. My xbox is a glorified Firestick at this point. In the past I used a capture card to play at my PC but since I only used it for NHL, I was essentially spending $60+ for the game, and then forced to pay another $10+ per month for live service.
So on the cheaper end of that youre talking what, $180 a year to play this one game. $120 of which is not going directly to EA... That doesnt leave me much for Hut Packs.
Im sorry, this is a game I can not play if it is not brought to PC. Im not rich and Im not a fan of wasting money, I bought every NHL game until I switched to PC. Man, I would be playing the crap out of it.
If the playerbase is too small, I get it, but I feel like everyone I have asked would rather play on PC. I'd want to get a peek at some surveys to know how far off it really is from profitable. Id also have to wonder if it is backdoor shenanigans between large companies to squeeze wallets.
All that aside. I would immediately purchase the game if I could play it on Steam.
