If it was released for the pc it would be the death of the game.
Online is bad enough with people abusing the glitches never mind having the pc hackers to deal with.
Just look at the reviews for games that have cross play with pc users and you'll find that console users are totally against it.
I believe PC release can go south for the game, but not for the reasons you mentioned.
Console players complain that PC players are hackers and PC players complain that couch console players don't take competitive modes seriously and ruin the games. Nothing new.
I have never stopped playing a game with crossplay because of the nature of other platform players nor I have ever seen a negative game review JUST BECAUSE the crossplay exists, I want to see those red reviews that you are talking about. Is it Rocket League? Is it Apex? Is it Fortnite? There can be an option to disable crossplay and a lot of games do.
I don't feel like just because an absolute minority of PC players could cause some problems is a good enough justification to deprive the whole platform of access to the game. Now, some concerns may arise if we look at who we have to trust to address these problems... Khem... EA...
What I think could ruin the PC comeback story is plain and simple - a bad game. It will be picked up, ridiculed, and eventually uninstalled forever, probably refunded.
I think the release to PC must be flawless. The game must be good. Sadly the NHL 24 devs don't rhyme with 'good game'. I would not want them to be responsible for PC release. As an advocate for NHL PC, I say - don't do it. Fix your dev team. I don't know what is the problem, is it management, skill, motivation, or what? Sort it out. Blow the players away with a good console release first.
