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.
@EA_Aljo Put me in contact with the hiring team, I will come work at EA and do it myself. Its a solvable problem with very low cost. let me talk with a manager and lets see what we can do to make it happen. Ive got no problem working OT for free. lets make this become a reality. im sick of seeing threads like this every year for the past 10 years...

- @bzisniper Unfortunately I've got a job im happy with rn. Dont want to waste time applying. If someone gets me into contact with someone that can make it happen id love to see what we can do. Hell id even work weekends in addition to my current job. But would love to chat. maybe if some day i decide to quit my current job id apply.
As an embedded fw/sw engineer, Id feel pretty confident in getting this done in under 6 months (depending on how their codebase is organized)- EA_Aljo
It's been explained many times how there is a lot more than just porting the game and doing maintenance. You can read through all the threads to see these conversations. Supporting the game has a very high cost associated with it. This would also take attention away from the console version. Which is where the very high majority of people would be playing.
