But question maybe also is: Why each NHL season there is need for new $80 bucks. On consoles(which are worthless PC) for developers/others need their machine for their work duty.
And question also is, why new shiny UI with raytracing is requirement when graphics could be lowered to less capables... $80 bucks maybe, but each 5+5 years maybe, with season DLC, without new shiny stuff each version, only allow to run without hassle on supported compatibility platform. Those with UI capables, there is development according income... And maybe each season DLC may such outcome for old year NHLs may some accounting excel tables be approachable... Or if there is some 3rd party engine accessible to make their league DLC with supported NHL season stats and engine from NHL, excel tells.
But if missing NHL $80 bucks from consoles is cruel, maybe for those without XBOX, or low PC specs according EA profile, with compatibility mode for multiplayer on their bucket and their fun on their work PC.
