Nhl is already the lowest rated and least selling sports game for EA, makes sense there won't be NHL on PC. Takes too long to work out the controls and i'm sure it won't look much better than console
You also have to realize that the biggest NHL market is on the PC. Most eastern European countries and northwestern European countries(a huge market sector that is not being covered) are PC gamers. In fact, it makes way too much sense to have a PC port. A lot of these developers are way too old school to realize that video game piracy is not what it used to be for the simple fact that most people that download pirated games are kids and most kids that grew up in the video game era are adults now(like myself at 34 years old) and pay money to support the game developers, everywhere, even in Russia. And saying that "it takes tool long to figure out controls" or port a game to PC in this generation of consoles is laughable. I mean, EA came out with the NFL PC port and that is definitely not a game that was necessary for the PC market because most players that game are console players(like 90% of the potential Madden players already own a console). There is absolutely no chance they would not get a return on their investment if they ported a game to the PC, none. A PC port this generation would cost at most what $2-3 million(and that's worst case with like 20 programmers working full time on just that for a year plus marketing costs). You would only have to sell about 100,000 copies to cover that after taxes/advertisement. Do you really think they can't sell 500,000 copies of NHL 19 on PC? Easily.
