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.
- We all are aware of the sales vs others like fifa. This makes the problem worse. It means less sales. I'm not buying a console for 1 game. I won't be buying again this year because I'm not paying 750 bucks to play a game. I have not bought since xbox one. I've bought my gaming pc and do not plan to buy a console when I have way better. Either way you slice it. It comes out to less sales because I'm not even close to thinking this way. How many individual copies didn't sell this year again?
