Request for EA to Bring NHL Back to PC and Nintendo

Dear EA Sports,

Hello, my name is Lucas, and I am writing to ask EA Sports to seriously reconsider bringing the NHL franchise to PC and Nintendo platforms.

It has been years since NHL has been available outside of PlayStation and Xbox, and the gaming market has changed significantly during that time. PC gaming has grown tremendously, and more gamers are now choosing PC as their primary gaming platform.

EA's own NFL franchise demonstrates that there is a significant market for sports games on PC. Even a portion of that audience could represent millions of dollars in additional revenue for the NHL franchise.

For more than 15 years, many NHL fans and gamers have been asking for NHL to return to PC. Despite the continued demand, the community has never really been given an opportunity to demonstrate how large that audience could be.

I would like to suggest that EA test the demand before making a full commitment. EA could create an official poll asking whether players would purchase NHL on PC and Nintendo, release a limited PC beta or technical test, measure sign-ups and engagement, and establish a minimum number of interested players to determine whether a PC version would be viable.

This would allow EA to make a decision based on real community data rather than assumptions about the size of the market.

The gaming industry has also changed significantly. Many former console exclusives have moved to PC, and cross-platform releases have become increasingly common. PC gaming continues to grow, and there is a large audience of players who would be interested in playing NHL without needing to own a PlayStation or Xbox.

I understand that developing and supporting another platform requires additional resources, optimization, testing, and ongoing support. However, that is exactly why I believe a beta or community poll would be a reasonable first step.

There is a passionate NHL community that has been asking for this for years. Please consider giving those players an opportunity to show EA how much demand actually exists.

Even if EA is not ready to commit to a full PC or Nintendo release, an official poll or beta test would allow the community to have a voice and provide EA with valuable information.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

Sincerely,
Lucas
