PETITION FOR NHL GAMES TO BE PORTED ON PC

Hello, would you guys be interested in making a petition for NHL games to be ported on PC ? I am seriously tired of EA jumping on every sport games because they know that they can sell you the same 80$ games every year with little to no effort in updating it. At least, sell the licence to a company that thinks about their PC community. This is ridiculous... I want to play nhl as much as UFC on my pc and I will not buy a console only to play these two.

So yeah, let`s make a petition for EA to port the game or sell the licence, we will show them how many people would actually buy the game. Also, it's not only about how many people buy it, think about how many players would spend their paycheck on packs...

Edit: Removed bold and profanity. Make sure your posts are adhering to the EA Forums rules. -CM

Yes but I mean a real petition outside of EA forums, a petition that people would share on instagram, facebook etc etc

what you said here is just not valid, I don't know if these numbers are up to date but you are comparing sold games amount that are on consoles + PC vs a game that is only avalaible on consoles and there is about 90 millions ps5 and xbox series sold at the moment and according to the latest available data, there are an estimated 1.86 billion PC gamers worldwide. To really make a fair comparaison, the game would have to release on PC too.

There are already like 1,000 petitions to get NHL on PC - The trouble is, there are a thousand different people creating one instead of all consolidating to make it actually appear like people want it. We need a petition to merge em all together

^ What he said, simple numbers game. It was spelled out here a year or two ago that porting to PC is not a simple process and the development team is stretched as it is programming and patching for consoles (whether you think so or not). NHL videogames are simply not that popular with the masses - FIFA (EAFC) annually sells around 7-8 mil, Madden 5-6 mil, NHL tops out at around 1 mil. It's simply not worth it for EA to commit more resources to produce a PC version of a game that is low-profit as is.

I get the frustration with not having a game ypu want on your platform of choice, but there's no grand conspiracy here. EA doesn't have an exclusive NHL license. Anyone is free to negotiate a license with the NHL and create a competing product.

EA also loves money. If they thought they could make enough profit with a PC port I'm sure they'd make one.
