Forum Discussion
@TasteofChicago91 don't have either system.
Yeah but why don’t people just buy the console and then they can switch between console and pc? Makes no sense to me. Are there certain things that only pcs can do?
You can mod the game on your PC, so a lot of the customization we don’t get now, you’d be able to do on your own.
PCs are also capable of better graphics
People aren't asking to bring the game to OUYA, we're asking for the game to be brought to the largest platform in the gaming market (Steam/PC).
Hell, EA built their own descript platform on PC - why they refuse to support their OWN platform with their OWN games is beyond me.- EA_Aljo

This has been very heavily discussed over the last few years. The TLDR is that, contrary to popular belief, there just isn't a big enough audience for it. Yes, we fully understand you and your friends would play. That's awesome, but we would need a much higher amount of PC hockey players to warrant the very high cost of this. Porting the game to PC is probably the easier part. Combine that with building an infrastructure to support it and those costs skyrocket. Not to mention, all that work that goes in to this means the far more popular console versions wouldn't get the attention they need with all those resources devoted to a PC version.
We all are die hard hockey fans, but it also doesn't have the worldwide fandom of a sport like soccer. This is reflected as well in the amount of PC video game hockey players. It would take a pretty extraordinary amount of them to make the very big job of bring the game to PC not be a loss.
how can you pretend to know that there wouldn't be a big enough pool for a PC version? I have been receiving the annual EA sports nhl survey for at least ten years, and I have never seen a question regarding my interest in a PC version
- @TasteofChicago91 why would someone buy a console just to play nhl? that makes no sense to me.
if anyone has 700 bucks sitting around not doing anything can they buy me a Xbox S/X to play NHL since I have a PC AND IT'S LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF THOSE OVERPRICED CONSOLES? thank you and enjoy the remainder of your day.
Like not spending $250+ for one game? I don’t want to buy a console I’m only gonna use for one game.
