This shows that ea sells 100-300k copies of their nhl game a year.

this link shows a new hockey game, from a developer no one knows, with no marketing budget, and not licensed sold over 34,000 copes in the first 8 days it launched on pc.
now please EA community managers, explain to me again how there isn't a market for hockey games on pc. I used to buy NHL every year for consoles, I stopped at 22. I will not buy another console just to play hockey. get with the times.

Tape to Tape also sold for much less per copy and had a massive drop off in players soon after launch. Assuming your numbers are correct, you're gonna need wayyyyy more than 10% of the community demanding a PC port.

EA said it...
The PC player base is just not there. They have to focus where the money is like Super Mega Baseball 4 (released on ALL platforms) with a whopping 500-player all-time peak (steam charts). NHL just can't compete with that, the game is just too niche
