Re: 17th year without a PC release

[Edit - CM]  You have millions of fans that want a native release on PC for years now.  Consoles will soon be running Windows natively (XBOX) and you now have no excuse to launch a game for PC.  You control the rights to the NHL and folks like us who have PC's are forced to mod old versions of the game to make content relevant.  There are millions of fans who want to enjoy NHL in 4k natively and you disappoint year after year.  Create a game and see what the market even looks like instead of telling people that Fifa and Madden are the only sports that make money (not true).  Worst thing that happens is the community would enhance the game further to give the developers some new ideas for a change.  What will you add this year 3d reflections on the ice.   You are missing out on the biggest community there is for money so just help me understand why you hate the fans so much?  If your worried about hacking just do what you did with Battlefield to prevent cheating (Javelin).  Just give the people what they want. Cloud gaming is not the future and is a lag disaster.  Folks spend thousands of dollars to run 5090's and top tier gaming setups and want to play their favorite sports in 4k.  You instead don't want to give the fans what they want and enjoy hearing the fans beg year after year.  In all honesty if you don't create something I hope 2k sports buys the rights and does something with it because this monopoly on sports is really becoming a detractor for your organization. 

Edit: Merged with the already existing thread for this topic. -CM

    “Millions”?!?!?!?

    Incorrect!  You’re over exaggerating just a wee bit.  😆

    Give it to this PC crowd for being persistent though for something that hasn’t happened in years and probably several more to come maybe even never again.  Think about it people!  If EA could make money and/or have it worth their while to make a PC version don’t you think they would?!?!?!?  There are also other possibilities and/or other factors (contractual etc) why they haven’t made a PC version in over 10 years plus.  EA ideally/probably would love all their games on all platforms but they obviously have their reasons why.
