17th year without a PC release

It's actually hilarious to me this signature campaign from nearly a decade ago is the only anchor point we have for any evidence.  It's funny, because it completely exposes the absolute laziness of EA Sports to not even attempt to engage with the PC community at all.  Yes, we have a change campaign with 8,000 signatures.  That is only indicative of the people who were actively looking for a PC release at the time who managed to find this forum, login, search through comments on an outdated forum post, click through to the campaign link and then sign with an email.  So from my view, 8,000 signatures is actually a great number for something that basically had to be discovered through effort and curiosity.  

This forum itself is a small echo-chamber.  You have larger social communities on reddit, and even bigger ones on instagram, facebook, youtube comments, etc.  All of which you will see chatter about a pc version.  So really I don't understand why the onus is on the pc community to basically put all of this energy to "prove" to EA that it's worth it with what, what is the number - 10K signatures?  100K signatures?  1 million signatures?  It's ridiculous - the onus should be on EA Sports to clearly communicate and at least show it is trying to engage.  But we get nothing.  Zilch.  It just feels like we've been ignored now for over a decade, and it feels that way because it is that way.  There are freely available resources online that show the pc platform is as large as the entire console market combined.

Like I said, I respect the community mods for responding but most of the people who were asking for this nearly 15 years ago have either moved on or stopped caring all together.  It is extremely difficult to get any read on this situation other than general sentiment online, which btw clearly states: yes, people want this game on PC and other platforms like Switch.  Soooo yeah.

I asked EA Sports to open source the server code/game code for NHL Legacy so at least the PC community can have some variation of modern NHL available to them.  There are dedicated groups attempting to reverse engineer this stuff so we can at least play the game on PC.  The will is there on one side, but it's definitely lacking, and basically non-existent on EA Sports side.  Again, I am sorry to be so negative but it is beyond frustrating at this point. 

It doesn't sell great on consoles either. So it's a win win situation for everybody if it would be on PC. More money for EA and people can play NHL finally.

Porting the game would cost pennies. And the market is bigger than NFL. No one outside USA cares about NFL and americans prefer consoles over PC's. While ice hockey is popular worldwide. Same with basketball. NBA 2k is selling like crazy on PC. By cancelling NBA live on PC EA basically said no to 300-500million bucks. Now NHL of course is much less popular sport in general but even if it can only generate 50mil/year it would be a huge win.
