I call **bleep**, sorry, but a company that is notorious for ignoring its customer base. How many FIFA games have you released on PC? pretty much all of them. Yet you want the fan base to either put up the cash or deal with **bleep** streaming. That is yet another non-answer from the greats at EA
On console I would only play through EA pass so with that monthly price being spread out over all your games that about 30c a month for NHL games per person so what's that $3.60 per year. but if you put NHL on pc, I would pay full price for the game and then add Ons and in game purchases so probably more like $120+ on the game within the first year alone seems like pc would be a lot more profitable.
Also, it was NHL 2000 on PC back in the day that cemented my love for the sport just saying bring it back please.Sorry but I am, not buying the it cost too much to be on PC. We all know you make all your money on Ultimate Team and having more players being able to play UT would justify alone the cost. Also EA makes billions every year.
when will they bring hockey to pc?

I think it's a shame you can't play NHL on a PC, the Playstation is too slow ( WOC takes 30 years to load )... I know that with a PC you'd get better quality and easier to use!
Please EA, add this game on pc, you did it well with Fc, Wrc and others! if we have to pay more, I'll pay to get it on my pc!
Thanks- @BullitMagnit74 This is the solution but EA would never. It doesn't make them exorbitant amounts of money through illegitimate means like gambling or exploiting people. I personally bought a new gen console only for NHL and MLB, the only two of the "Big 4" sports without PC ports and the only two sports I like. EA does NOT deserve any of the success it sees.
They obviously see this market -- they re-released Alpha Centauri on Steam this year for a whopping 276 all-time peak concurrent players, currently sitting at 27 players. A PC game, released in 1999. Albeit a much more popular game back in the day, but releasing it on Steam offered pretty much no benefit. NHL 09 is a slightly newer game, it's a game with a PC version, they could easily re-release it to gauge the support for NHL on PC. If it isn't there, oh well, Steam is doing most of the heavy lifting to host and support this game, people still bought and play it, and now PC players can legally acquire an official NHL game. It is there, and suddenly a new market is opened up for NHL on PC and EA has tapped into more of that sweet money they so crave. Their greed is satisfied, and their players are happy.
Even better and less costly -- they literally just make a post somewhere asking if the support is there. Make an identical post for another franchise not on PC yet/anymore. Easy peasy, they have an idea of the popularity and demand for the game on PC, and from a much more mainstream place than this forum or relatively small subreddits. But even that's too much effort for a AAA game dev that copy and pastes their game each year while pretending it takes effort to add and remove the same features a few times and whining about how their players (aka their source of money) want too much.
