Won't be coming to PC

Ok here's an idea that requires NO effort on EAs part. 

Have then re-release the very last PC game on Steam for a reasonable cost for such an ancient game, and allow it to be modified by the Steam community to add roster updates, graphic assets, new textures, etc.

Even allow it to be run through that RTX software that remasters old software graphics. 

And finally, allow it to be server hosted on local machines. 

Problem solved. EA makes some extra coin on vaporware, we get a hockey game that we can have dedicated mods work on it, and everyone who EA days DOESN'T EXIST gets the game they always wanted free from EAs microtransaction nonsense. 

What say you EA? If there is no demand for this game on PC as you say... Release a dead game on Steam and open it up to the community and we'll see how dead it actually is!

This would also require getting the licensing for everything in the game at that time. I really don't see that happening. I get you all think a PC release is a piece of cake, but that's simply not the case or it would have been done.

The game is for all intents and purposes Abandonware. I don't condone piracy but I can certainly see a case for it when EA refuses to give the buying public, no matter how small it is perceived to be, an option to legally purchase it on the SYSTEM they currently own. The idea one has to sink an exorbitant purchase price of an entire console for the one game they want to play is beyond the pale.

Fine.. strip ALL the licenses for league/players/music and whatever else is required and just release the game stripped down as EA HOCKEY on PC and allow the modders to do the rest.
