will NHL 24 be on PC this year?
I really wish this would come to PC. nice fan base here.
Forum Discussion
@Forizeal this is irrelevant. If you look back in the thread I had a response debunking this line of thinking. EA already 100x their production costs solely through ultimate team. When you look at how much they make combined across all platforms its probably even more. Lazy take.
Tired of hearing "there's no market for it" when literally EVERY thread/twitter post for EA NHL is flooded with messages like the image I've included. This is the top trending post on r /NHL right now over on reddit. Here is a * ton of comments.
The player base may be getting smaller by the year but 270 updoots is practically nothing to EA, no matter how persistent; gotta increase that 1,000x at least if you wanna get their attention.
The problem is there are too many small groups of 3 or 4 people crying out - I don't know how but the PC crowd needs to condense their efforts into just 1 or 2 huge posts/voices crying out for change - something they simply can't ignore
@TTZ_DipsyErm..first off that thread was just a general discussion related to EA NHL license on the NHL subreddit, so 200 upvotes is only indicative of the relative popularity of that sub during this time of year as it was the top hot topic. If anything it shows the general popularity of EA NHL on this subreddit.
Secondly, I just wanted to demonstrate that whenever EA NHL discussion topics are made on general NHL forums there are a disproportionate amount of comments asking for NHL on PC.
You will never get a "5 million mega petition rally cry" for something like NHL on PC just like you wouldn't for say Crash Team Racing on PC. That doesn't necessarily speak to an unmet demand for the product though.EA doesn't own the NHL license the same way they do Madden so anyone is free to make their own if they so choose. Cutting EA out at this point just means no large scale hockey for anyone.
I think it's great you're trying to champion/advocate a PC version; the community needs more people like you - Sure you get random comments on any post saying PC PC PC, but the amount of people laughing how the game sucks drown y'all out like 50:1.
Is the entire playerbase even at 1 million at this point? It's dying overall; I think a PC version will take a chunk out of the console community and do even more damage but thats just me (cause lets face it, with PC comes mods and every console player will cry foul when PCers get a win).
We're gonna have to figuratively and virtually shake hands and agree to disagree on this mate, I really do believe your only option is to unify your voice, and even then it's a long shot cuz we still don't even have Bloodborne at 60fps </3
50 ppl is hardley a market.
