PETITION FOR NHL GAMES TO BE PORTED ON PC

So by your logic, there is more hockey fans in the 90 millions console users vs the 1.86 billion pc gamers ? If it is profitable on console, even by a small margin, it would be even more on pc. Also, putting the game on hold while porting it sounds like an excuse, they do it with all their other sport games.

dont forget that on this 90 millions console users, a lot of them have pc's + consoles and they will prefer buying it on pc for the performance gains

The other sports games also have a significantly higher playerbase just due to the popularity of those sports. Hockey is more of a niche sport. While there are billions of PC gamers, a small fraction of them would be playing a hockey video game.

Yes and do you know why people don't want to play hockey game? Surely it's not because the quality of the only hockey game we have? Hell, even I am considering to stop playing and buying it going forward. My experience this year with the game has been worst in decade and that says something. The countless technical issues and when that wasn't enough EA sports dev team added lag to the gameplay month ago and still no word of if it even gets fixed. So no man, people don't want to play your game because it's so bad quality not because the player base is small. If you skipped a year on releasing it and solely focused on the quality of the game then released it polished your sales would skyrocket.

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.
